Thought for a second it was a different Vincent Jackson...nope, same one. Damn, prayers to him and his family. In his prime he was pretty damn good on San Diego

 

[Gman]

Damn. Too young.

RIP.

Sad situation. I suspect drugs played a role. He was living in a hotel, away from his family, which had sent someone to do a welfare check on him. The person that did the welfare check reported he seemed to be of sane mind. He was found dead like a day later.

Too damn young.

Heart felt sympathies to his family.

RIP VJAX... 38, that's tough, wonder what happened. Maybe CTE had a role?

Retiring young with millions of dollars at your disposal can be curse.

Kinda followed his career because of what happened with the 2010 CBA. Very good player. Sad news.

 

[Janus]

Made me a good bit of money and some FFL titles in his day. V JAX and Greg Jennings for a good period. Like VJAX a lot. sad

 

[broncosmitty]

RIP VJAX. Always enjoyed your game.

Being found dead in a hotel room is never a good sign. I loved that dude's game. he was big, fast and had great hands.

I'm willing to buck that trend if someone will give me a shot...

I guess money, a hot wife, and the ability to do whatever you want doesn't make a perfect life.

RIP, I remember him from the Chargers, the only team the Jets could ever beat when it mattered.

Retiring young with millions of dollars at your disposal can be curse.

Sure... I want that curse, but I'm not "that" young anymore.

RIP Vincent Jackson, a very underrated player from a San Diego team that should have done more.

Sure... I want that curse, but I'm not "that" young anymore.

Generally speaking, people aren't very good at knowing what's good for them...

... at least a significant portion of the time.

I guess money, a hot wife, and the ability to do whatever you want doesn't make a perfect life.

I don't think that paints an accurate picture of who he was from what I can tell. This guy seem to be a devoted family man.
He started a program called "Jackson in Action" . It's a program to help military family's.

But I guess considering the circumstances of his death, I guess there is no denying that he had demons.

RIP Vincent Jackson.

Crazy

2020 doesn’t wanna end

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Such sad news. I don't want to jump to conclusions but yeah alone in a hotel room is not a good sign. I actually thought he would have been older, a very good player in both stops.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Terrible news. Condolences to the family & friends.

Always thought he was very underrated in his prime.
