such a tradegy for the entire NFL/football world....may his family cope with this loss with ease and their suffering be little.

it's shame,

i just watched a interview with him and he seemed to be an nice guy.

he sure worked hart to get from a div.2 college into the nfl and died so close to reach his dream.

yea i just watched his Combine workout on NFL.com, the video of his highlights that day....such a shame....i guess it just goes to show everyone that life is not to be taken for granted.

dang, maybe the NFL can dedicate the upcoming draft in his memory.

Yeah, I read about this on yahoo. Its sad to see a young promising life cut short like this. It makes you really appreciate life that much more.

On another note:

I dont really think this qualifies as off topic, though. It is a football story and it does affect the upcoming draft.

i wasnt really "Sure" on where to exactly post it...thought that this was the best place for it being as is, but after posting it i realized "hey its about the upcoming draft....this should be in the 2008 Draft thread" but it was too late to put it up there instead of here.

What a shame....and yes...one should never take life for granted.

After I post this, I'll move the thread to the proper forum.....

was this guy any good?

[Raven07]

from what i saw of him during his combine...he seemed to be a Good Guy for teams to go after, he might have not been a first rounder but he certainly would be a possible canadiate for a early to mid round type of player, whom would come into a system and learn and adapt rather quickley.
