several nfl veterans have taken their lives in recent years. family and friends having a hard time understanding how the 43-year-old former linebacker could be gone. i can t really believe it. he is one of those people so inspiring and charismatic and filled with life you can t really imagine they re not there anymore. he was coming up to l.a. to be honored for something and he was really excited about it. and he was talking about his son going on a trip to fiji. he was very happy. there was no indication. but he was never somebody that just put his name on a gym and gave money. he was actually hands on there. they were serving food to less fortunate people, he was there scooping the mash potatoes. he really was involved and loved doing that. jon: joining us now on the phone is trevor pryce, a retired nfl all-pro who played for the broncos, ravens and jets.
