Remember When NFL Great Junior Seau Caused Havoc For The Seahawks?

The former San Diego Charger - who was a menace when he played against Seattle - was found dead in his home Wednesday in California, reportedly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The pro football world is shocked today, following news that authorities found NFL great Junior Seau dead in his home.

The former linebacker for the San Diego Chargers was discovered by authorities in his Oceanside, CA home. Police haven't said officially what they believe caused his death, but one report says it was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I found this highlight video of Seau on YouTube and it immediately broght back memories that aren't too fond if you're a Seahawks fan. Seau was regularly a menace for Seattle, which at the time was San Diego's divisional foe. The video includes a few shots of Seau hitting former Seahawk running back Chris Warren in the backfield.
