My Take
John Matuszak's life reads like a movie of its own. A number-one overall draft pick and two-time Super Bowl champion at 203 cm, he then crossed over to the screen and won over a generation as the lovable giant in The Goonies. Few people commit their whole body to both the gridiron and the spotlight the way he did. That he died at just 38 gives the whole story a tragic weight; the same outsized intensity that made him magnetic seems to have burned bright and fast. I find myself genuinely moved by lives this vivid and this brief.
