Seen him on tv several times. The NFL OWES that guy and his family.
I feel the similar to the way I felt when I realized there would be no more mud bowls because of advancements in field upkeep and turfs.

one to draft him with the Bills' last pick in the draft (really who makes the team drafted in the late 7th?) and another to sign him to a one day contract...i guess its too late now

And it's super cool that the pick (Ed Oliver) spent time with him before he passed. 39 is just absurdly too young and unfair.
