Sad to hear.  Good luck to him --

Wow- hope he gets help that he needs and is able to overcome this. Great player, but really seems like a good guy from what i’ve seen. 

[aristocrat]

yea i remember him getting interviewed a lot last year during the vikings great season and him talking about his newest son and how his wife in a house full of boys.  hope he can get right. 

[Soda Popinski]

Awful to hear people struggle with mental health issues.   I hope he gets the help he needs.

Threatened to shoot up a hotel.  No gun found.

My guess is two last name syndrome.

Hope he is going to be okay.

Hope he can find the right help, unfortunately there is a real mental health crisis in this country.  If any positives come from situations like this, hopefully it continues to shine a light on this issue, and the lack of real help there is for millions dealing with similar issues but aren’t millionaires/athletes with the support of a multi-billion dollar organization.

Wow.  Hope this guy can get right.  Looks like a good dude from his social media presence.  A little old (age 30) for his first psychotic break.  Wouldn't be surprised if it was triggered by something physical or an adverse reaction to medication.

Yeeesh. Feel for the guy. Hopefully he gets some help soon. I kept trying to grab a quick quote to give the thread better context of what was going on but there were just a too many incidents this week alone.

Lol I know. I thought maybe this impacted the team on game day but it states most players/couches weren't aware about the alleged break in and car ordeal

Steroids maybe?

'Shroom tech?

[Chandler#81]

Seeing a freak rookie QB fly from the 5 yard line to the pylon, leap over your PB MLB for a critical 1st down, and watch him scramble away then throw back across the grain to a trailing RB who runs untouched for 55 yards would have many Defensive players suffering mental illness.
