Linemen take a beating every single time they step onto the field. Wonder if it was an underlying issue caused by his playtime. Or it could be the jab. Can't tell....
From a FoxNews article, the guy seemed very active and energized after his pro football career. Co-founder of one business, Chief Growth Officer of another plus otherwise keeping fit and active with his family and community youth. A recent quote from Mr Ulrich —
"Keeping up with my four pre-teen sons is the highlight of my life and keeps me on my toes," the portion read. "I also invest my time in helping young athletes in our area reach their full potential through coaching and training — this is one of my true passions. I can also often be found at the gym, where I recently bench-pressed 505 pounds at the age of 40 — the goal-setting doesn’t stop!"

505 pounds is a serious bench press!
I'm old enough to see many football players.
I never saw this happen with such regularity or if at all.
Rest In Peace, Mr Ulrich. Prayers for your family and other loved ones. May the Lord give peace and comfort to them as they experience the grief of your passing. 🙏✝️
Meh, football players are a bad thing to look at. Average lifespan is 54 years old. Around 2010 time frame there were a number of ex players that committed suicide. Some shot themselves in the heart so brain damage could be studied.
A lot of player end up crippled because of the hard hit.
It's damage to the frontal lobe, which controls impulse, emotion and many other vital brain functions. Similar degradation is seen in Alzheimer's patients.
I honestly don't know if people would play this sport if it were really out there. Sort of the same don't really talk about it thing that the jab has. A known, don't want to really know thing.
Baffling
