He was a part of Harvard University's Football Players Health Study, "which examines the multifactorial causes that impact the health and wellbeing of former NFL players," the university said. He served as an adviser to players in the study, which looked at the impacts of football on their short- and long-term health.

The jab?
You’re not allowed to ask his jab status.
He did retire from the NFL after a couple of seasons, so he wasn’t mandated to get it.
Conservapedia claims NFL players don’t live very long. https://www.conservapedia.com/Lifespan_of_NFL_players_and_fans
6’4” 310 lbs.
I, a pathetic high school, and for 2 years college football ‘player’ (live dummy on the practice field mostly) was told by my dad: “to be good a football player, it helps to have a grudge against your own body, because it’s going to take beatings”.
He, an excellent cattleman and horseman, also warned me, when planning to ride a bull at tbe local rodeo: “bull riding has got nothing to do with ranching, or horsemanship. It’s just gladiator stuff”.
I don’t know if you’ve ever met an NFL lineman in person, but they are freaks.
I shook Tony Boselii’s hand at TPC Sawgrass, and it was like I was a child.
I’m a 6’2” 210 lifelong weightlifter…
I rode a bull once. The guy said “you paid for two rides”, and I said “No, I didn’t.”
Curses, I forgot!
I’ll report for self termination.
Sounds similar to me meeting Richard Kiel and I am 6’2 260ish.
Nice guy Jaws.
That's at least 100 pounds overweight. I'm guessing his heart gave out or he had a stroke. In either case, very sad and so avoidable.
I remember him more from Happy Gilmore.
I’m in the minority here preferring the Daniel Craig Bond films to the earlier flicks.
I think he really had the gigantism.
I don’t personally know any pro football guys, but my understanding is they abuse their bodies outside of the game as well. Between caloric intake and pill popping, then add in booze and massive size, and it’s a recipe for disaster.
If he worked for a company he was mandated not to mention everyone was told to get it.
I think Craig Casino Royale is a top 5 bond movie, so I'm in the minority too.
I liked the Craig movies.
After a long time I have warmed up to the Dalton ones.
By the time their careers are over, they are still young enough to believe themselves immortal and continue consuming +5K calories per day while burning 2K.
For some, substance abuse issues factor in.
I thought that was his best one. Worst was Quantum of Solace.
Goldeneye was a good older one.
