Once a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers and a Super Bowl champion, Terry Tautolo has spent his retirement from football in and out of homelessness.

Claiming it and proving it are two different things. The NFL is not totally at fault here, the players know the risks and choose pro football as their career. It's no different than a race driver getting injured/kill during a race.

Some people are just destined to fail, no matter what opportunities they are given. Other find success despite obstacles.
