A tragic and disturbing day for football fans yesterday as former NFL All-Pro linebacker Junior Seau was found dead at his home in Oceanside, California.
He was 43 years old apparently dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound although an autopsy will be conducted to confirm the cause of death. Seau went to the Super Bowl twice, with the Chargers in 1994 and the Patriots in 2007. The Takeaways’ sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul Matin tells us about Seau’s death and career.
