It was shocking news when it happened, especially for those that knew him- nine months ago former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer tried to kill himself. Fans were shocked, but very few friends knew about the troubles that plagued Kramer emotionally, most knew him as an outgoing, friendly ex-athlete that had life in the palm of his hand. What transpired on August 18th seemed impossible- Kramer took a gun pointed it underneath his chin and pulled the trigger. Miraculously, he survived. The bullet traveled through his mouth and sinus cavity and out the top of his head, and medical personnel were able to save his life.
