 |
|
I didnt know where to put this post, so I am putting it here.
Whatever happened to Mark Rypien? I'm looking at his stats here (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1064) and it gets a bit weird near the end. According to this, he left in 1997, and came back for one more year in 2001. Anyone know why? Maybe its a mistake on the page, but I doubt it.
Just wondering. |

| His son died in 1998, and he was out of football for a while. |

Cancer, I believe. I think there is a foundation if you are feeling charitable. |

Wow! That's really sad to hear. I still remember that Super Bowl.
Anyway, call me crazy, but didn't Ryp work in the Rams organization for little bit. |

I don't know about "a lotta weight":
He's definitely heavier, but he was never in body-building shape to begin with. |

| He came back in 2001 and played as a back-up to Peyton Manning, he was there mainly to help be a mentor...... |

DeBerg was with the Falcons in 1998; Rypien was never with the team.
In 2001, the Falcons had Chris Chandler, Mike Vick and Doug Johnson at quarterback.
EDIT: Rypien's career stats: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/RypiMa00.htm
