Nice.

Bobby Humphrey was my favorite player for a while – until his unfortunate situation. He was a great player and deserves to be in.

This one

I remember. I was sitting watching the news and heard the story that Bobby Humphrey was shot, found on side of road – no other details at this point. It was a sad way his NFL Career ended.
