Seems like a lot of younger people dying of late.
I remember when Chester was drafted; it was thought to be a big deal for the Raiders, who were in LA at the time.

This sucks. I remember when he was drafted, too, and thinking wow, he's huge. Always enjoyed following his career

Damn, I always hate seeing football players die so young. The sad fact is however it will continue as you aren't going to play O-Line or interior D-line in the NFL anymore unless you are 290 plus, not healthy for longevity after you are done playing.
