1994 Chargers, not a lucky team to be on.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-passes-at-44/
Our NBC colleague and good friend Rodney Harrison, a rookie member of the Chargers’ Super Bowl team of 1994, called to advise that his former teammate, Shawn Lee, died over the weekend at the age of 44. NBC San Diego reports that the team has confirmed Lee’s passing. Lee is at least the sixth member of the 1994 Chargers to die entirely too young. Defensive lineman Chris Mims passed in 2008 at age 38 due to an enlarged heart. Offensive lineman Curtis Whitley died in 2008 of a drug overdose. He was 39. Linebacker Doug Miller was struck by lightning in 1998, at age 28. Running back Rodney Culver died in a 1996 plane crash. Linebacker David Griggs perished in a 1995 car accident. He was 28. The cause of Lee’s death has not been disclosed. We send our condolences to Lee’s family, friends, teammates, and coaches. |
One of the strangest SB teams ever.....no franchise QB, and not many standout offensive players overall.
Weak year for the AFC.... |
I liked that team.
I'll always remember when they stopped the Steelers on 4th and goal to advance to the Super Bowl. Chris Mims took out a "Terrible Towel" and waved it for the fans. |
The Chargers of today are probably better overall, but all of the other teams in the AFC are much better now.
But that was back when Junior Seau was reaching his prime. He was one of the best back then. |
This really is sad news, there were a lot of players on that Charger's team I really liked.

Yeah. Natrone Means popped into my head immediately. Run the ball, play strong Defense, decent QB. A lot to like. |
I love how the Chargers are so harmless that we don't even poke fun when their players die.
Chiefs fans would get a kick out of 6 young Donky deaths. |
And those ****in' Niners cheated the cap that year, (I think they lost a 3rd rounder for the offense and it was swept under the NFL carpet).
BTW - The Culver story is probably the worst of the bunch. From Wiki: "Rodney Culver, and his wife Karen, died on May 11, 1996, when ValuJet Flight 592 from Miami to Atlanta crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all 110 people aboard. The couple left behind 2 children, Bree and Jada Culver." Apparently, any survivors of the initial crash were most likely devoured by gaters. RIP - Shawn Lee |
And yet Romanowski lives on.
