Former Heisman Trophy winner and Bears' first-round pick Rashaan Salaam died at age of 42, per family spokesman. Another gone way too soon.

Man..

He had some addiction problems, didn't he?

I recall Reeves wanting him over Wheatley.

That

is just brutal. We've lost so many good people this year, but that is way too young. RIP. God bless.

so much fun, so young. Sad.

I loved watching that 2 TE, 1 RB option offense at Colorado.

Yes. He and I were on a sports investment panel together back in 07, and I'm fairly certain he was under the influence even on the panel. We spoke a bit afterwards; nice enough guy and sadly was used to people trying to capitalize on the fleeting fame he still had. He also asked me if I knew where to get some weed in the same conversation.

Damn.

He was a beast at Colorado. He didn't pan out in the NFL.

Earliest memory of him is Bill Walsh Football

They didn't have names, but we all know who he was.

Apparent suicide

RIP Rushin Rassan

Bill Walsh College Football was an awesome game

Randall Godfrey and Leeland McElroy were dominant in that game. Curtis Martin, too.
