Former Bears running back Rashaan Salaam has passed away at the age of 42.
Salaam was reportedly found dead Monday night in a park in Boulder, Colorado, where he had starred for the University of Colorado. Authorities said there were no signs of foul play.
The Bears selected Salaam with the 21st pick in the first round of the 1995 NFL Draft. He set a team rookie record that has since been broken by rushing for 1,074 yards and 10 touchdowns on 296 carries, becoming the youngest 1,000-yard rusher in league history.
