Damn RIP. These gigantic dudes don’t seem to live long lives unfortunately. I wonder what the average lifespan is for former NFL linemen.

Yeah I mean, he weighed like 350 coming out of college. Can't imagine it got much better

He left in free agency for New Orleans the same offseason we traded for Willie Roaf from New Orleans.

That's all I remember about him. Couldn't even tell you if he was good.

Any relation to Riley Reid?

Sad.

RIP big fella.

Definitely, 49 is just too young these days

But as Kiimo alluded to, he was 350 as a youth and maybe it just didn't get any better from there... probably why we're starting to see more and more big men make a conscious decision to slim down after retirement


A heart can wear out quick trying to keep that much mass alive

Sleep apnea?

I would've bet anything that he was a Marty guy back during the conservative Marty running heyday. I guess he was a Marty guy since he got drafted by Marty, but he only played one year for him. He ended up being more of a Gunther guy.

Superior Reid.

Can take a punch.

When Krispy Kreme first came to KC, the company I worked for at the time was doing some promotional work for them. I was talking with the franchise owner and he mentioned that Chiefs players would come in frequently. Then he told me about how Victor Riley would order a dozen glazed donuts, stack them on top of each other and smash them down into one donut that he would eat right there.

On the subject of late 1990’s offensive tackle Chiefs first round draft picks, remember this… LMAO

Damn it Carl.

I have a signed John Tait rookie card. :p

RIP Victor Riley, I remember the hope you brought to the team

Is this the guy who allegedly smacked up a woman when he was a Chief? I recall a running joke that a player was named "Smack my bitch up", but couldn't exactly pinpoint it.

RIP :(

Oh man, this is awful. R.I.P.

I remember the Tait loss. Being from Utah it was probably publicized.

She's very nice.

I hate Peterson, but I didn't know Taint was such a bitch.

Died in his sleep.. More than likely sleep apnea… RIP big man..

That’s a serious lifestyle change to have to get used to post career. I know Nate Newton used to be on billboards around town showing dramatic weight loss and he was unrecognizable. Tough to change when you’ve been a big eater your whole life.

As time goes on, I realize more and more that Carl Peterson was a real jackhole.

As I recall, he was pretty good.

I hear you. Reading that article brings back so many memories. And not a single one of them were pleasant. Carl, head coach Gunther Cunningham, and Brian Shay.

He really wasn't a very good GM, either. That being said, John Tait can **** straight off.

Highly accommodating.

Reminder to get your 4th booster guys.

And don't weigh at least 350 pounds for your entire adult life.

Obviously a vaccine death.
