Rivals.com NFL Draft - Heath Benedict found dead in Florida home

NFL prospect Heath Benedict, a former offensive lineman at Newberry College in South Carolina, was found dead Wednesday evening at his Jacksonville, Fla., home, according to local authorities.

Incredibly sad, had his whole life in front of him, about to make millions of dollars in the NFL Draft. Best wishes to his family.

Best wishes? Not sure if that is the phrase I would use in this situation. :tongue2: It is really sad news when a young kid passes away like this....

Wow, very sad. I was just researching him for the Mock draft. I believe he started off at Tennessee, and transfered after academic problems. A shame for sure...RIP.

Condolences to his family. I hope that little brother gets a shot.

I wonder if heart problems might be the cause? Dutch descendants here have much higher incidences of heart disease.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family
