Nothing is ever sader than an NFL player tragically dying, unfortunatley this past monday, another Denver Broncos player died.Kenny McKinley, 23, drafted in last years NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, initial reports indicated that McKinley died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Later reports now show that he might not of died from suicide, per USATODAY.com, coach McDaniels emotionaly addressed the media a few hours ago, and tried hard to hold back the tears.
McDaniels told the local media "He's been the same person every time we see him. Liked junk food and chips and things like that, He was in the cafeteria, or in the training room, when we were seeing him the last so many weeks here. Nothing that would alarm us to anything like this."
The coach further added that there will be a minute of silence in this weekends game against the Indianapolis Colts, players will wear number decals on the their helmets, and his locker will remain for at least the rest of the season.
McKinley is the latest of Denver Broncos to die, Darraet Williams was shot in a drive-by on the 1st of January 2007 and Damien Nash collapsed and died in a charity basketball tournament way back in 2004.
It's definitley a sad day for the Denver Broncos organization, and my condolences go out to the families and others involved.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier told the media certainly one of my all time favorite players."
