Hate to see this news. I was always fan. He anchored my fantasy teams for years.

That's a shame.
This commercial with him in it always made me laugh...

He was iconic with the finger wag and incredible defense, I even bought a pair of his shoes back in the day.
Spoke many languages, gave back to tribes in Africa, a great humanitarian.
RIP

I saw a lot of NFL players doing the wag in the Monday night game, not sure if they were paying homage.

The image of him clutching the ball and crying when Denver upset my Sonics in the first round in 94 has been seared in my head for 30 years now. What a choke job... But it's terrible that Deke's life ended too soon. He was an all time defensive great for sure.
