What a horrible and tragic story.  CTE and mental health are real issues and i hope these athletes are prioritizing their mental health over everything.

Horrible, horrible outcome. I wish nobody would end their life like that. Jesus can fix whatever is wrong. 

Just a few days after recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown wow.  RIP, young man.

Terrifying and puzzling he felt the only way out was to off himself. I’m sure with his privilege and money a slap on the wrist would happen.

Sometimes this happens because the person is not in a sober state of mind.

An acquaintance of mine ran from the cops last year and shot himself after the chase ended. Nobody can figure out exactly why, but his toxicology report was not clean so it's easy to assume that played a large role.

It depends on why he was running or what he was running from.  

It sounded like they were at his place for a wellness check earlier in the day after his GF called in saying he was suicidal. Know the NY post sucks, but they have audio: https://nypost.com/2025/11/06/sports/girlfriend-was-convinced-armed-marshawn-kneeland-would-end-it-all-disturbing-police-audio-reveals/

I have no idea what was going through his mind when he pulled the trigger. To the world he looked a man who had it all, but obviously that was not the case. We all have “demons” we deal with daily. The lucky ones, myself included, have a support system of God, family, and friends. I have lost two cousins to suicide and “no one saw it coming”. We all need to reach out and tell our friends and family we love them and there is help. RIP Marshawn. 

If anybody feels like things are too difficult for them or you’re facing questions about your life and future that leave you with concern- please reach out.

Sad to hear, but we don’t know anything about these players outside what we see during games.
