Rashaan Salaam, 42, Found Dead

Dang. I was fortunate enough to watch three straight guys rush for 2000 yards as I lived in Colorado and he broke the record against Iowa State. I then went to Iowa State and watched Troy Davis do it two years in a row. Unbelievably good runner. Really young. Such a shame

Weird. I just read yesterday some stupid article on the worst Heisman winners in the pros. There have been some bad ones (Gino Torretta), but they named a lot weren't that bad. If they weren't NFL HOFers, they labeled them as bad. Dude ran for over a 1000 yards with 10 TDs as a rookie. He wasn't horrible. He wasn't a HOFer, but not horrible either.

Sad news.

 

Will be interesting what they find out. N

 

Praying for his family and friends in this tremendously tough time.

Can't help but wonder if it's CTE related.

 

Ruled a suicide this week.

 

Gun to the head. : /

his family wouldn't agree to do the CTE test on his brain (or at least what was left over) though due to his Muslim faith, but I did read that he had a blood alcohol level of .25 though (over 3 times most states legal limit) and had marijuana in his system, so clearly he was not well. Just sad all around.
