If you've ever seen his TV Show 'Sports Jobs' - he seemed like a very positive and energetic role model.. a really good guy! This news is a shocker to me :(

He had actually had a lot of personal problems, but was never the type of person to show it. He was like that on the field. Never wanted teammates to see him injured.
That Giants Superbowl loss really hurt him. That was his last chance to put the bow on his career and he was so close. After that he had a handful of failed businesses, his wife left him a couple years ago, and he even tried to kill himself around that time by driving his car off a cliff.
A lot of these guys have trouble transitioning from being in the spotlight on top of the world to just being regular people. Some of them that had great success in the NFL really struggle with life after it. I guess it's the same for maybe a rock band who had their 15 minutes then everyone forgets about them. Some people just can't deal with that. He definitely experienced that feeling of his life being meaningless, which is a shame, he was rich, had 3 kids and really was a lot better off than a lot of people in this world, but not mentally apparently.

So sad. He was always known as the nicest guy on the team. I wrote him fan mail when I was a kid and he sent back and autographed card. Met him a couple times a local events too.

Strange what's happened to the '94 Chargers after losing that Superbowl.
-- In 1995, about five months after the Chargers lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, linebacker David Griggs died in a car crash. He was 28.
-- In May 1996, running back Rodney Culver died in a plane crash. He was 26.
-- In July 1998, linebacker Doug Miller died after being struck by lightning while camping. He was 28.
-- In May 2008, center Curtis Whitley was found dead of a drug overdose. He was 39.
-- In October 2008, defensive end Chris Mims died of complications from an enlarged heart. He was 38.
-- In February 2011, defensive tackle Shawn Lee died of a heart attack. He was 44.
-- In December, linebacker Lew Bush died of a heart attack. He was 42.And now Junior.
