RIP OG Heath Benedict

[jsarno]

You really hate to hear stuff like this. I am sure he was very excited and anxious to become an NFL player.

I hope this was not the reason he is deceased:

Several NFL personnel men implied to Sporting News correspondent Russ Lande that Benedict showed signs of steroid use at the Senior Bowl, specifically the acne on his back at the weigh-in. The sources also said they were impressed by Benedict's muscular physique at the Senior Bowl weigh-in and practices.

People really don't understand the ramifications of steroid use.
I will reserve further comment about him and steroid use until the autopsy comes back. You hate to give that kind of speculation unless his name is Barry Bonds.

Do you have a link, because I really want to know more about this.

Unsure of what you're talking about, unless of course you did not fully read the link that SS left on this first post of this thread. Read the full article...it's closer to the bottom.

I was talking about the quote in your post.

Oh my bad, didn't get what he was saying thanks for the clarification.

It's sad to see such a young man go. R.I.P

I wish the best for his family and friends.

Doubt steroids killed him that young, who knows if he could've been combining drugs or really anything else that may have happened.

It may sound uncommon for people to die from steriod use, but it does happen. The heart doesn't always take whatever you give it.
Like I said, not sure if that was the cause or not...in fact, does anyone have a link to the results from the autopsy?

Could agree more. Anything that significantly changes body function has to be suspect and few things change it more than steroid use (positively and negatively).

No one should jump to conclusions, but this is a forum for open discussion and any discussion outside of how tragic it is could not exclude the genuine possibility.
