RIP: Demaryius Thomas

Dead at 33. He was the anti-diva. Quiet, unassuming, consistent Pro Bowler WR. He is what Chase Claypool should aspire to be. R.I.P.

 

Definitely a shock to hear and no cause yet....
RIP and prayers to his family

 

Terrible news, far too young. RIP

 

Man he burned us on that OT Tebow pass. Sad news 33 WTF

 

Terrible news. RIP.

 

GEEZZZZ. RIP Young Man.

 

Poor guy. Sounds as if he may have suffered some sort of a seizure while in the shower. RIP.

 

Still waiting on Cause of Death.

Be curious to see what was in his system.

 

People be quick to assume the worse of a person...it could have been something he has been dealing with since his youth for all u know.

 

What a ****ty thing to say. Over his entire career he's proven to be a fantastic person. There's absolutely no reason to think this has anything to do with drugs.

 

I live in a sh**ty world.

So, someone drops dead at 33, I just assume it is not from natural causes.

NFL players and Pain Killers, to me just go hand in hand. I would bet that over 75% of NFL players are taking Pain Killers during and after their NFL careers.

Retired NFL players use painkillers at four times the rate of the general population, according to new research conducted by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The researchers say the brutal collisions and bone-jarring injuries associated with football often cause long-term pain, which contributes to continued use and abuse of pain-killing medications.

IN THIS YEAR’S SUPER BOWL, MANY PLAYERS WITH THE GREEN BAY PACKERS AND PITTSBURGH STEELERS MAY DECIDE TO “GUT IT OUT” AND DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO PLAY IN THE BIG GAME, IN SPITE OF PAIN FROM INJURIES. BUT A NEW STUDY FROM RESEARCHERS AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE IN ST. LOUIS HAS FOUND THAT THERE’S A PRICE FOR SUCH HEROISM, NAMELY THE USE AND MISUSE OF PAIN-KILLING DRUGS CALLED O
