I always wondered what happened to those athletes, jocks that skies were the limit for them. I want to know, what happened to them? What are they doing now?

Probably on this board reliving our youth ;D

Mike Webster former Hall Of Fame center lived on the street and in fact is he still alive? Some of his former teammates had to pay his way to the Hall I think.

Something these youngsters need to be aware of.

Mike Webster passed away within the passed three years.  He had several mental issues.  They were linked to his playing days( head to head contact)  Very sad story.  We place these guys on a pedestal and when they quit playing nobody cares what happens to them.

Even though baeball J.R. Richard still lives on the street and former Kenny Burrough has some issues or has over the past five to ten years.

Shermdog...You are correct. Also, #52 Webster had addiction problems on top of his mental issues. As much as I disliked the Steelers back in the 70's, he was a great center for that team.

Also, Kip Cooper was killed last week in Beaumont. He was a high profile player for the "Another one Bites the Dust" 1980 TJ Football team. He was supposed to play for the Texas Longhorns along with Dodge and Duhon. His future was very bright. If I'm correct, he played DE for TJ.
