Terrible. Very young. No cause of death announced yet.

His 1992 season is arguably a top-5 individual performance by a defensiva player in NFL history. My thoughts and prayers for his family.

Way too young to go. Seems like yesterday he being a stud at The U. A superstar on post-Knox Seahawk teams that struggled to make the playoffs. To be named 'Defensive Player of the Year' on a...2-14 team?? Simply sick! Good thing he still made the Hall despite his team's struggles.

RIP Cortez Kennedy

Yep sad and extremely young for someone to pass away. I would imagine being as large as some of these men are is hard on their organs as they get older (and especially so if they choose to stop working out).
