Retired because his sister died, I think.
Seems like a good enough excuse to me. If he's over the grief, I think he will be good for us.....

issues with family he couldn't handle as a young student.... maybe with our support system here in the Pros...it'll be easier to get through tough times for him.

Heard them say on NFLN that he had family issues to deal with. Hopefully it's settled now.

I don't recall any off the field issues... He retired because his heart and body were broken. He was a ghost of himself before, but came back and played amazing.
If he gets in an open field nobody can catch him.

That was my immediate thought when I heard the pick. Kyle knows what he wants and what works.

He was also suspended for credit card theft in hs so it may go further than his family issues. Very talented but is a real red flag.

Grief takes a long time. Heard he blamed himself for his sister's death.
