Saw this on ESPN this morning.

Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died Sunday morning after he was taken to a Greenwood, S.C., emergency room, the county coroner said.

Greenwood County Coroner James T. Coursey told ESPN that Adams was taken to the emergency room at Self Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9 a.m. ET Sunday morning.

An autopsy will be performed Sunday by the Anderson County forensic pathologist, Coursey said.

Adams, 26, listed at 6-foot-5 and 256 pounds, played in college at Clemson and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft. He was traded to the Bears in October.

In 47 games over four seasons with the Bucs and Bears, Adams had 67 tackles, including 13.5 sacks.

bears scout.com board is saying it's possibly a heart attack. Heart defect of some kind? I guess we'll have to wait for the autopsy results.

Yeah, 6'5" 256 isn't that huge though. Sucks to hear.

Big enough to steamroll just about anybody posting on ATOT. 😛
 
<sarcasm>That vitamin S is sure powerful stuff</sarcasm>

He died waaaay too young in the prime of a pretty solid NFL career. Sad 🙁
 
Died of an enlarged heart just like the Indiana Basketball player just did.

You know the big talk is how fucked up the heakth care system is for the country.

It's pretty fucked up and seems to be non-existent for the sports world too.

How do you land a multi-million dollar deal and have no fucking clue you can drop dead any second?

He was 1 inch shorter and 15 lbs heavier than me, although I've weighed just about that before.

Dude I seriously think you are missing the point.

I am sure you have some story of some NBA/NFL/etc scout scoping you out.

Enjoy your bouncer story.

This dude I am betting could have you crying like a baby with 1 arm and both legs tied and both of you in a 5x5 room.
