Hearing Jon Grant talk about Vincent Jackson's death (former UNC Bear) - I'm reading that he passed under very bad circumstances associated with Stage 2 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Very sad, he was a hell of a player.
I know Lamb drew a ton from the Polynesian community in the Salt Lake area while coaching at Weber State. Lamb's Wildcat teams were always big and physical - a lot of those young men were of that Poly ilk.
