Dead at 55.

RIP

Sad he was quite the personality at one time. The Goose!

I feel like I haven't heard his name in a while though.

Have to assume his weight came into play with this although I have no idea. He was just a very heavy person.

Yeah unless he was serious about losing weight, it could be tough for former linemen. I think Reggie White had weight problems after retirement as well.

Ross Tucker was a former OL and he said he lost weight. He enjoys eating, talks about all the spreads they have for media people at NFL and NCAA football games that he does. But he also says he's well below his playing weight, may be exercising regularly because he has a family with young children.

Probably helps for former players who find another career after their playing days, to keep busy and active.

His father died at the age of 48 of heart disease, so that's probably a good indication of what happened to Tony.
