Twitter: Micah Parsons and Junior Seau-Only 2 players in history of the NFL to accomplish this

[HungryLion]

His depression/suicide was from steroids, but nobody wants to go there. The whole concussion thing is a little bit of a scapegoat. Nobody wants to talk about the impact steroids has on people mentally.

Steroids can have very negative impacts on a persons brain.

of course so do concussions.

So when it comes to Seau. Best not to throw out assumptions without any evidence as to what ultimately caused his suicide. It could also very well be both things that played a part, for all you know.

Drafting DeMarcus Ware over Junior Seau was one of the better decisions ever made.

Wrong hole.

That’s debatable.

Cowboys defensive assistant George Edwards said they’re using Micah Parsons similar to how Edwards coached both LaVar Arrington at Washington, & Junior Seau at Miami.

They studied his brain dude, he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy from head injuries. Depression is a symptom of that.

That’s cool to hear. I saw the Twitter post about them being the only 2 which is wild to think about all the all pro’s to play the position and not do what junior and Micah have done. He’s on his way. He’s having a nice rookie year. Still has 9 games to go

You don't remember correctly at all.
Junior was drafted in 1989. Same year as Troy

Nope. 1990.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Junior was drafted in 1990, Ware and Merriman were drafted in 2005. If my math is correct, that's 15 years difference, not 16. Just saying.

Burn

 

[Ranched]

Oh yey! And here I thought it was something positive!

No. Steroids do not cause depression. Good lord.

Your math is better than mine.

What an amazingly terrible opinion.

 

[BAT]

I don't get it.

Because it was stupid.

 

[BAT]

Nope. 1990.

I think Jimmy could have drafted Seau if he had not taken Walsh in Supplemental draft.

Norton and Seau would have been ridiculous.

being from San Diego and always hearing about Junior situations. Yep, had lots personal issues. Roids was also in the mix. Didnt seem like a content/happy person.

 

[Zekeats]

No. Steroids do not cause depression. Good lord.

They 100% do. Pro wrestlers are some of the most depressed and suicidal professional athletes. Do a little research.
