My Take
Junior Seau is a name I cannot say lightly. Twenty NFL seasons, twelve Pro Bowls, a Hall of Fame induction, and the 1994 Man of the Year award sketch a player of rare ferocity and rare generosity. His passionate, full-contact style is what made fans love him, and at six foot three he simply refused to take a play off. His death in 2012 at forty-three was a genuine loss, and the later conversations around brain injury give his story a weight I think we owe him not to forget. He left everything on the field.
