Junior Seau is a Hall of Fame player but the tragic ending to his life changed the way people viewed the violent sport of football and brain injuries.
As a player, Junior Seau was one of the best pure linebackers in NFL history. He was tough, quick, and hard-hitting. He played every play to win not only his match but the game because he was a game-changer.
