Cortez Kennedy Dead at 48
I can't find a cause of death anywhere, but anymore I'm shocked if it's not CTE-related.

Re: Cortez Kennedy Dead at 48
Wow. :-( Certainly could be head trauma related, but Cortez was also a huge dude. Could be heart, diabetes, etc. Too soon to speculate.

Tez was a massive man. That's a difficult strain for many parts of the body.

It's takes a special player to keep that up. Tez will be missed

The Seahawks had a great defense when he and Sam Adams were clogging up the center of the line of scrimmage.
RIP.

Re: Cortez Kennedy Dead at 48
These big guys need get help to lose weight when they retire...it's tough being that big, especially when they stop the intense physical activities that go along with professional sports.
He was a great player and from what I hear, a good guy. I feel for his family and will keep them in my prayers...that's really early for a guy to go.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Peter Boulware was another player that successfully "bulked-down" after his career was over...IIRC. Originally Posted by BcRaven
