It's gotta be drug-related. Truly a shame. Is it too early to ask about a compensatory draft pick?

I know........I'm going to hell.
 
Hard to believe theyd do an autopsy that fast. No offense, but he isnt even cold yet. Ive never heard of one so fast.....

Id wait for the official report, but given what they go through, especially at the combine and with trade physicals that this got missed.
 
Dagumit, he's going to be missed. Sad and shocking. Prayers for his family and friends.
 
Given that this is the Bears we're talking about, it's not likely that we'll hear anything truthful about this situation.
 
damn, not sure how I missed this, just caught in on the halftime show. This is truly sad and unfortunate. To see a man die so young! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and teammates both in Chicago and Tampa.....another very sad day for the NFL.
 
Very sad. Many people simply cannot handle the physical stresses that go with being an athlete. Unfortunately, it appears that this may be the case here.
Condolences to his family and friends.
