What in the world happened to a 24 year old on top of the world? So sad.

[Dback Jon]

Wow - that’s awful

 

[Arizona_Steve]

He was the guy that recovered the blocked punt for a touchdown. Way too soon.

This was Marshawn Kneeland on Monday night — recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown, living his dream. Just a few days later… he’s gone. So, so heartbreaking.

His brain needs to be checked for CTE. If he had it he'd be the youngest on record.

I was thinking that as well. Shane Tamura was confirmed to have CTE, and he was 27

The girlfriend said he had a history of mental illness. Doesn't have to be CTE for someone to just struggle with things in life and/or be suicidal.

Everyone who makes it to the NFL will have already spent a decade or close to it under a helmet from pop warner onwards.

It at least needs to be ruled out.

Shot himself inside of a porta potty.

I agree, just pointing out that isn't a slam dunk. People can be suicidal for many reasons.

Did he shoot himself in the chest so he could be tested? Or did he shoot himself in the head to do the job?

I’m late, I know.

What we know.

He has had a long history of mental illness struggles.

His mother died suddenly two months before he was drafted into the NFL.

 

[cardsfanmd]

Terribly sad. RIP

 

[oaken1]

Bummer. condolences to his people. R.I.P. young man. May you find the peace you seek.

thank you....CTE seems to be the knee jerk reaction for whatever reason.

From a hero play on Monday night football to this. I have to think it was deeply rooted mental disorder.

What i would give to just sit down with a young man like this and talk him through his pain. Its just soo freaking sad

Can you imagine what the Cowboys coach feels like right now? He is probably asking himself " how did i not see one of my guys suffering like this"

freaking awful

Worth the 3 minutes.
