Was a 49er in 2003 training camp/preseason. Forgot about that.

He was part of one of my favorite college offenses I have witnessed in my lifetime. RIP.

I remember him in our training camp/preseason years back when he attempted a comeback.
Great college player whose career just never got going. Sad news, may he Rest In Peace.

RIP, another ex-NFL player dying way too young. Didn't he have a good rookie year and nothing else because of injuries?

Yup this was exactly it. He admitted that he couldn't control his habit/need to smoke weed, and said that stunted his growth as a player in the NFL.
