    Terrible news. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

    Its unfortunate for his football career but the survival rate for people under 50 diagnosed with that type of cancer is very high. Especially if its caught early which it seems like it was.

    Terrible news ... But as mentioned before, a young, strong guy like him is highly likely to beat it. I believe we'll see him in the NFL again.

    it's a tough break, reminds people just how unimportant football really is.

    Is this similar to what happened to Mario Lemuix? I read today that it is highly treatable
