Very sad. He will have to watch his inevitable Hall of Fame Induction from Heaven.
Many are already speculating about concussions leading to this. Still, my guess if a spirit had appeared to Seau when he was graduating USC and said “if you play in the NFL, you will become one of the greatest linebackers the game has ever known but you will die at 43”, Seau would have still played.
Of course, it could have been nothing more than just a player not being able to handle life after football.
One guy I would really be worried about in that area is T.O., he is so desperately trying to hang onto a football career playing for an Arena-League team, I really fear for him once he realizes it’s over....he already had one suicide attempt when he was with the Cowboys.
