It appears to me mine. Drew was a player who took advantage of his opportunities when they presented. Some players never get a chance for greatness and others never seize them when they get the chance. Drew changed people's perceptions that he was a speed guy with questionable hands until he eventually became a possession receiver late in his career.

54 seems so young but it isn't for all of us. Some pro athletes suffer great damage to their health either from all the blows they absorbed or from not transitioning to a normal body weight when their playing days are done. I don't know the story with Drew, but I'm guessing it's the former.

Condolences to his friends and family. He'll be fondly remembered in Houston.
