“He was good at what he did as a player, he was excellent,” the Bengals’ owner Mike Brown said at a news conference Thursday morning. “He was a teammate to our players, a friend to almost all of us in the building. We knew him in a different way than his public persona. We liked him. He had worked through troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom and he was going to have the future we all wanted for him and he wanted for himself.”
