The life expectancy for NFL players is grim.

It's not just NFL players, it's also large men in general. There something about being at or near 300 lb that puts a lot of strain on the body. I'm not medically qualified to make an exact explanation but I'm willing to bet that this has a lot to do with it.

Yeap, Melin Olsen died last year and he was (i think)only in his early 60’s
