Pretty great read. Such a shame.

Means: I remember when I left San Diego in 1996 and went to Jacksonville. I was thinking, "I guess every NFL team has a Junior Seau linebacker." I'm out there that first day of practice, I'm looking around, I'm like, "Okay, where's the Junior Seau at?" You see a lot of guys who look the part, but I'm like, "Naw, that's not the one.... No, that's not the guy...." That's when it really hit me: "Oh shit. Okay, now I get it."

Still not sure I'll ever see a better performance on the field than when he was playing with 1 arm. That was just ridiculous.

I remember the Sports Illustrated cover after the AFCCG, while featuring Steve Young, had a little byline below that said - "Junior Seau - his finest moment". He basically played the 1994 season with one arm. He was a warrior. I am still in a certain state of disbelief.

I'm still in a state of disbelief he isn't here.

Great read. Thanks for posting.

I hope Jr has found peace.
