      Sad so young, Seems like possible mental health issues may have been a cause.

        Just a puzzler. Who knows what he was going thru in a hotel near his home. Far too young.
        RIP VJax

          sounds like CTE or drugs, or both

            Was thinking CTE but why go to a hotel near home for a month?
            No idea unless trouble at home. No one knows but his Wife or close friends.

              Such terrible news. I didn't realize he has been out of the league since 2016. Seems like just yesterday he was making marvelous catches for the Chargers.

              RIP, VJ

                I still remember the day of that draft. I was hoping we’d get Mike Williams and was pissed when Detroit took him. Then I wanted Roddy White. Then we later ended up with VJ. I didn’t know much about him, but the reports where encouraging. Then he was green coming in, but it was in his second season that he really started to show something.

                I remember how we needed to keep winning in 2006 to get the #1 seed. And it looked like in week 16 that we were gonna blow it by losing in Seattle. Then Rivers hits him with a bomb with 29 seconds left in the game. I went apeshit.

                  Could be lots of reasons. I guess we'll find out more in the coming days.

                    This is how I remember him, I was at that game and had a feeling we'd win also, damn Weddle.

                      Heartbreaking. I suspect life after retiring from football is not easy.
                      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
                      The Wasted Decade is done.
                      Build Back Better.

                          Yep. I'd like to know if this is another case like Seau's.
