Hard to imagine simultaneously having the athletic gifts he had and at the same time the physical and psychological issues that led him to an early grave. He was a brave man for facing his issues. He deserved a better and longer life. So sad.
Watched him at UK and rooted for him as a Giant. A friend knew him and he signed a hat for me that I still have. I had been following his kared lorenzen project and hoping he would continue getting healthier. So sad.
to understand how a person with a family and so much life in him does this. Praying for peace for Jared and his family.
Does what? I don't think he committed suicide or anything.
No... he was actually trying to get healthy after getting close to 600lbs. Meaning that it's impossible to understand how someone gets to the point where their consumption of food causes their body to shut down. He was a young guy with a lot to live for...

It’s not impossible to understand at all. It’s called food addiction. TLC has a TV show about it called my 600 lb life. It’s hard to survive long at that weight.

I wish (any) self-destructive addiction was easy to understand and is would be great if watching a television show about it could provide that depth of understanding.
Always sad, particularly for such a young man, and a talented one. Always loved his passion for the game which was evident any time he was on the field.

I thought you said that well. I understand where you're coming from.
at an event the Giants hold for Special Olympics back in 07. Really nice guy. Spent a lot of time with the kids, someone talked him into throwing a long pass to one of the WRs (don't remember who, a practice squad kid I believe) and he laughed and did it. Had to be 70+ yards in the air. Huge arm. Smiled and laughed the whole time. RIP. Damn 38 is too young.
This was about a year ago. He was trying really hard to lose weight and get healthy for his son.
Maybe to much damage was done already?
RIP Jared.

He ended up getting an infection and didn't realize the severity until too late.

That is far too young though.
My condolences to his family and friends.
