At 69, Merlin Olsen Died The Most TRAGIC Death...

#nflfootball #americanfootball #nflhistory #nfl #nflnews Merlin Olsen's TRAGIC END began with a rare cancer that changed everything. In July 2009, doctors told the football legend he had peritoneal mesothelioma. It is a rare and aggressive cancer that attacks the lining of the stomach. For a man who never missed a single game in fifteen NFL seasons, this news was almost impossible to believe. Merlin Olsen stood six feet five inches tall. He weighed 270 pounds. He was one of the strongest men to ever play professional football. Yet a hidden danger from his childhood had been sitting inside his body for nearly sixty years, waiting to strike. As you hear what Merlin carried in silence, give this video some Hype if you believe stories like his still deserve to be remembered.
