DRAFT PROSPECT BENEDICT DIES
Posted by Mike Florio on March 26, 2008, 11:09 p.m.
Heath Benedict, an offensive lineman who played at Newberry College and who was expected to be a mid-round draft choice in 2008, died on Wednesday.

Benedict, 25, played initially at Tennessee and then transferred to the Division II school. The Sporting News draft guide had Benedict ranked as the ninth-best guard in the class, and projected him to be a fourth-round selection.

A source with knowledge of the situation says that police have ruled out foul play. Published reports indicate that drugs and alcohol have been ruled out as well.


Very very sad. 25 years old and a ton of talent. I thought he had a good chance to be a very good Guard in the NFL.

Any information on the cause of death? I'm guessing cardiovascular disease...

Last thing I read said he died from complications due to an englarged heart.

I wonder if that's just what they're saying and it was something steroids related.
