Junior Seau
Seau had a 20-year tenure in the NFL. He bounced between the Chargers, Dolphins, and the Patriots after he was awarded the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1992. After retiring in 2010 with 1,849 tackles, 56.5 sacks, and 18 interceptions, Seau lived without football for two years and then committed suicide, presumably due to complications from concussive injuries that were never addressed. Seau was tearfully inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015.
