Sad News. The Hefty Lefty has passed away

[Floatyworm]

Just read a story on him last week how he wasn't doing to well....Only 38. R.I.P.

- "Old QBs don't die....they pass on"...

wow RIP dude he was pushing over 500 lbs at some point too bad he couldn't get better.

Damn... what’d he die from?

Damn... what’d he die from?

From what I read last week he was having heart and kidney problems...I'm sure carrying all that weight was an issue as well. I always thought he would find a way to lose the weight...but he never did. What a shame. He was a well liked guy. Sounds like he touched a lot of peoples lives. And in this day and age...That's a pretty good life. To leave a legacy.

I remember during the draft process seeing clips of him thinking “no way.”

Nonetheless, RIP

Former Kentucky and New York Giants quarterback Jared Lorenzen died Wednesday at 38.

The University of Kentucky confirmed Lorenzen's death in a tweet Wednesday afternoon.

Anointed the “Hefty Lefty,” “Pillsbury Throwboy” and “Round Mound of Touchdown” by fans during his playing career due to his prodigious size and arm strength, Lorenzen had been hospitalized since Sunday with an infection, kidney and heart issues, according to statements from his family.

Sad. He was very young. What did he die from?

Heart issues I believe.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Too young. Really sad

As a lifelong UK fan this hurts. Jared was by all accounts the salt of the earth. Way too young.

Lorenzen had actually lost a good amount of weight recently, he was still real big, but was having some real success getting his weight down before this happened.
