Albert Haynesworth Says He Almost Died Due to Brain Aneurysms

Former NFL defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth revealed in a Thursday interview that he suffered nearly fatal brain aneurysms last year.

Haynesworth opened up with 104.5 The Zone while attending the Ohio Valley Conference's women's basketball tournament in Nashville, Tennessee (via ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky).

"Nobody really knows, I almost died," he said. "I had two brain aneurysms that were nearly rupturing. I went and talked to my doctor in Florida, and he was like, 'Man, your blood pressure is through the roof. I'm going to admit you.' They did a lot of tests and found the aneurysm that was rupturing at that point.
