The Jacksonville Jaguars and NFL fans received some horrific news Monday when it was announced that former Jacksonville Jaguars player Uche Nwaneri had died Friday from an apparent heart attack at the age of 38.
According to the Lafayette Journal & Courier, Nwaneri had driven from Georgia to West Lafayette to see his wife when he apparently collapsed in her home.
Nwaneri’s wife found him unresponsive in a bedroom in her house around 1 a.m. Friday and called 911. An autopsy performed Monday found no signs of foul play, the Lafayette Journal & Courier reported.
Nwaneri attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and was picked in the 5th round by the Jaguars in the 2007 draft where he played seven seasons (104 games) with the team as an offensive lineman, wearing No. 77.
Nwaneri also played briefly with the Dallas Cowboys.
“Uche was a great person,” says his former agent Jordan Woy who told CowboysSI.com. “He was a very interesting person and had deep, valued, and informative thoughts on sports, politics, and life.”
Although nothing will be made official until the toxicology report is done, it doesn’t appear to be foul play involved in his death.
This news comes during a time that should be a great celebration for the team as the Jaguars enter the last regular season game with the Tennessee Titans with a chance to make the playoffs. Alas, it will be a bittersweet weekend for the franchise.
Hypodermic suicide.

After last night’s game, I would be worried about heart attacks if these NFL players had to get the jabs to play.
“Chalk another one up to the vax?”
Hey, if it weren’t for the vax and six boosters his symptoms would have been much worse!!
:-P
I don’t know how to post pictures but there’s a meme of this guy demanding jailing those of us that turn down the vax
DSS (Died Suddenly Syndrome) strikes again.
Mostly safe and effective.
Boy Howdy, there seems to be quiet a few seemingly healthy young people in their thirties and forties and even younger suddenly dying from heart attacks all of a sudden.
I wonder if it could be the stress of living in such stressful times.
Also, this guy was 6’3” 320 lbs when playing. I have no clue how big he got after retirement, but 400+ lb men die young often.
If he had died during the game they would make a hero out of him
“He was a very interesting person and had deep, valued, and informative thoughts on sports, politics, and life.”
No, he was an ultra-liberal racist vax-Nazi who believed (like every other ultra-liberal) that anyone who didn’t agree with him should be either in jail or dead. Look at this dead chump’s Twitter account if you don’t believe that.
I hope and trust he’s finding his new surroundings to be sufficiently warm and toasty.
Schadenfreude!!!
He was extremely pro-vax..
THEY counted every death *with* Covid as a Covid death.
WE will count every death *with* the vaxx as a Vaxx death.
I vaguely remember something about that. These heart attack issues were not an issue before the vax like they are now. Vaxxers will certainly disagree with me but the evidence continues to mount.
This is the only article I could find about medical issues prior to the vax.

Wow. A lot of people are having their words come back to haunt them. All in the name of politics. Yes, politics.
There was a while back a 4 or 5 hundred pound rapper who died when he simply fell off the couch he was sleeping on. All that weight hit hard.
Big Pun?
