Practice squad and training camp guy mostly. Played for a few teams. Tough to latch on to a roster as an Undrafted free agent, always a numbers game.

Seems like it happened a few weeks back, he had surgery the next day, and it just did not work, was on life support, declared brain dead and family choose to pull the plug it appears.

Former Ravens, Colts, Jets and 49ers tight end Konrad Reuland died on December 12 at the age of 29 as a result of a brain aneurysm. That week, baseball Hall of Famer Rod Carew had a heart and kidney transplant. Those two stories hadn't previously been connected, but the Ravens revealed today that Carew received Reuland's organs.

I remember Harbaugh was calling him "Novacek" in pre-season, comparing him to the former Cowboy super bowl TE, I liked the kid, I even made a thread about his chances of making the team , I feel bad for the kid
