Haven't watched it yet.How was it
I don’t think the event had any bearing on the length of his career. I think as the game has evolved, the kind of role that plays to his strengths is becoming marginalized & obsolete.However, that event ruined what would have probably been a much longer NFL career.
Did you watch the documentary? He hasn't played a meaningful snap since he was 28. When he was on the field in the NFL he said he couldn't feel his body and was constantly dealing with panic attacks and anxiety. I'd imagine that didn't help his play at all. The whole thing was way more forked up than I ever thought.I don’t think the event had any bearing on the length of his career.

Teams want LBs who can stay on the field in Nickel. They want guys who not only take on Guards but who can also run with WRs.
31 year old run-stoppers who are only useful in playing the run not high in demand.
Just started episode 2.Did you watch the documentary? He hasn't played a meaningful snap since he was 28.

Any chance at a great career in the NFL was essentially over after all this went down. He just wasn't the same person.Did you watch the documentary?

That was a Tom Rinaldi tear jerker.Crazy thing is, when you read stories of people since that time getting catfished out of thousands upon thousands of dollars from "the loves of their life", him believing he had a g/f attending Stanford that died seems tame by comparison.
His #1 mistake was mentioning her death to media outlets without confirming some stuff. This was 2012, not 1972. Most people's obituaries can be Googled within a few days of their death.
Finished it. FWIW, he did say that his anxiety issues were during his first 3 seasons with the Chargers. He played several seasons after that, so apparently he overcame it or found relief of some sort.Did you watch the documentary? He hasn't played a meaningful snap since he was 28.
