Jevan Snead short video about CTE & his death.

I completely forgot he died. Very sad story about him developing those dementia issues at such a young age.

I had no idea Snead died.

Damn.

Man that’s sad

Damn it, that is so sad.

I was at a bar in Dallas right before closing time about four years ago. He saw my Ole Miss shirt and started talking to me and a friend. He was the nicest guy. I met his family in the grove by accident when I was still in school. They were awesome too. RIP Jevan. Prayers to his family.

News to me also.

Incredibly sad.

When he didn't arrive to pick up a friend up at the airport, his loved ones feared the worst and called Austin police. Officers forced their way into his apartment. There, they found Jevan Snead's body. He had taken his own life by hanging himself.

In the months before his death, Jevan Snead told his family he wanted his brain donated to research, hoping doctors would learn something that could better protect the next generation of football players.

Damn.

I remember him getting killed after throwing an interception in the cotton bowl against Oklahoma State. He came back in later in the game but no way in hell would he be allowed to enter a game after taking a hit like that in today’s game.

Thanks for sharing Craig86. This is extremely heartbreaking. I don't care who you are, this is something that brings you to a sad place. God bless his family and friends.


I understand no one likes the new rules. This is all you need to see to understand why they must stay in place.

Jevan was an absolute warrior on the field and I will always respect the hell out of him. Gone too soon.

Concussions and any kind of brain injuries are scary as hell to me. The actor Frankie Muniz can't remember filming any of Malcolm in the Middle at all. He's only 34, bus hashad several concussions and been in a couple of bad accidents as a pro race car driver, and apparently he also suffers from mini-strokes
