Oakland Raiders Linebacker Ben Heeney Dodges A Major Bullet

More from Oakland Raiders

Ben Heeney, the Oakland Raiders‘ second year linebacker, was undoubtedly breathing a huge sigh of relief on Easter Sunday. Heeney, back in his home state of Kansas during the offseason, was involved in a head on collision while on his way to church on Sunday morning.

Heeney and his family walked away from the accident unharmed, thankfully. But in the wake of the tragic motorcycle death of Baltimore Ravens’ cornerback Tray Walker — also 23 years old — it’s another sobering reminder just how fleeting life can be.
