The Pittsburgh Steelers remain in mourning over the passing of their patriarch, Dan Rooney, owner, president, chairman, and ambassador. But the greatest tragedy within the broader NFL community in the past week was not in Pittsburgh, but rather in Arizona, when former Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap accidentally struck and killed his youngest child, a three-year-old girl, while moving his vehicle in the family’s driveway.
A 2001 first-round pick, he has five children with his wife, Ashley. Their family is dealing with an immeasurable loss that will be felt for the rest of their lives.
