Us original dawgtalkers remember what a phenom/topic he was for a brief time on the old board

He really had some talent, just a lot of hurdles off the field

Sad to see him pass away so young. RIP to Ben

That sucks. RIP Ben.

R.I.P Ben.

I was super excited when I watched him some pre-season games. He looked like the real deal.

No doubt he created a buzz which really hasn't been matched since.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

I actually had the opportunity to watch him run drills up close at training camp. He presented a lot of promise that was never reached. It's sad to see him pass at such a young age. My heart goes out to his close friends and family.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Sad. He was far too young to be taken from his wife and children. Praying for his family. I’ll never forget the game that he in 01 when we beat Baltimore in Baltimore. He was a great player.
