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

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.

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.

Found dead in his hotel room.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Terrible news. Condolences to the family & friends.

Always thought he was very underrated in his prime.
