38 is too young.  
 

RIP

Tragic and incredibly heartbreaking. I'm reading now there were some issues with mental health. The NFL really needs to do a better job in that regard taking care of their former players. 

 

RIP.

He had a ton of concussions.  So sad.  Although he was a Cowboy, I enjoyed the way he played.

I recall him playing piano in a human interest piece on him.  He was definitely fun to watch run the ball for awhile. 38 is too young no matter the cause.

 

I didn't remember or didn't know that Domonique Barber, from Texans, was his brother. Or that all three of the Barber brothers played at Minnesota.

There is an article on the WaPo that says he died from heat stroke while working out at home with the heat set to 91F. Poor guy, he was a good player.

Apparently, he liked to exercise in sauna like conditions.
