Former San Diego Chargers' safety Terrence Kiel died on Friday night when he got into a car accident. Kiel, 27, was driving home in San Diego from a party when his car slammed into a wall. Kiel was all alone in his vehicle, and others have said that they tried to prevent Kiel from driving alone because he was not fit to drive. Apparently Kiel had a couple of drinks that may have made him impaired. Witnesses say that Kiel was driving in the wrong direction when the car slammed into a wall, throwing him from the car. Kiel was a second round pick of the Chargers in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. He was the starting safety for them until 2006. During a practice in the 2006 season, Kiel was led off the practice field and arrested by DEA agents for felonies that involved him shipping drugs. After Kiel plead guilty later on, the Chargers released him and he has not gotten back with an NFL team since. He got three years probation for the incident. Is this latest death by a young player in the NFL worrisome? What should happen to prevent things like this? Do you think Kiel would have gotten back with the Chargers or any other NFL team if he wasn't killed?
