I remember watching him his whole career and it was even better when he was a Dolphin. I'm sure it has to do with mental health issues. I am sure we will find out once his brain is examined that he probably had about 30+ concussions that went undiagnosed because a player of his stature would never admit to one and probably played through it without evening mentioning a word to anyone or the medical staff as he probably never would want to have taken a play off.

I am pretty sure all football players know that they live for the moment and unfortunately some of them never recover from blows to the head and result to suicide. Very sad indeed. But it is part of the risks that they take for the millions that they make.

I'm sure 99% of us would have taken the same risk to play in such an awesome sport.
