Croe Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The guy we all knew because of the flag to the eye injury (and the lawsuit that followed) was found dead of unknown causes today at the age of 40. From what I remember he switched from D-Line to O-Line and was pretty good at both sides of the ball. Any body heard more about the details yet?

Croe Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Terrel Suggs had this to say: "It's disturbing, man," Suggs said. "We don't even know the cause of death. It's just sad. He was a beast on the field and a gentle giant off of it. It's just very unfortunate that he had to leave us so young. My heart goes out to his family."

Dutch Oven Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I can't believe the flag incident happened in '99. Doesn't seem that long ago to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 he was a monster, no doubt. I don't think we've seen an official report on what caused it though. RIP Zeus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem that long ago to me. +1 Unfortunately NFL players passing away at ages earlier than the norm is becoming more prevalent.
