Marshall 98 Posted May 23, 2017 A Hall of Famer not only in football, but in real life as well, he will be sorely missed by those who loved and admired him - who are legion, and include me.

polecatt 397 Posted May 24, 2017 Sad to hear. He was a very underrated player. One of the best defensive players of the past 25 years at an absolutely vital position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,418 Posted May 24, 2017 Praying that he was indeed devoted to the truth and the way and the life. I'm praying for his salvation. Praying for the Holy Spirit to bring joy to his family and friends in this time of weeping. I'm truly praying that this man knew the Son who is the mediator to the Father. May he truly rest in peace.
