I remember a year or two ago Dez Bryant said pray for him he wasn't doing too good.

Anybody that remembers his play style....you wouldn't be shocked if he got some form of CTE. Dude was putting more hurt on players with his head than they were doing to him.

One of my favorite Cowboys of all time. Fucked up...too damn young man. Every Sunday gave it 100 percent.

i looked up some shit and I definitely think CTE was involved…

i had no idea that it got this bad for him after he retired.

Jesus man. I remember when we (The cowboys) had him and the Julius Jones at RB. We never played that two headed monster nearly as much as we should have but man was he one hell of a runner.

This is tragic. RIP fam. Condolences to the family.

Take care of your health out there folks. Death seems to be all around us at the moment.

Man for years I cursed this man for running out of bounds stopping the clock late knwhen he was with the Bears in a game against Denver, it allowed Tebow to get the ball back, drive them down the field to score and win the game, and prolonged that bs Tebowmania phase.

And what I should have been doing instead is talking about how he and Laurence Maroney are one of the great duos that the Big Ten, if not college football, has ever seen, and how he ran hard as hell and fought for every yard like it was his last carry.

RIP, and curse me for being such an ass about one game.

Sad but not surprising...Tough Runner and i think Julius Jones started to change his running style a little because of MBIII, i believe he put on some more weight and started running tougher but the Barbarian was a monster...RIP :(

CTE ain't no joke bruh. I watch The Pivot interview with Warren Sapp, he said he has it. Said he was driving one day and forgot where he was going. The way he told the story, I was like wtf? But he said he'd do it all over again because playing NFL football provided for his family.
