| Rashaan Salaam, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1994, has died, a family spokesperson said Tuesday.He was 42.Salaams body was found in a parking lot at Eben G. Fine Park and 911 was called just before 9 p.m. on Monday, according to Boulder Police spokesperson Shannon Cordingly. The park is less than two miles from Folsom Field, where Salaam starred as a running back for the University of Colorado.Cordingly said there were no signs of foul play and an autopsy to determine the cause of death will be performed by the Boulder County Coroners Office.?Police told Salaams mother, Khalada, they suspect suicide after finding a note. She told USA Today Sports, They said they found a note and would share that with us when we get there.The Buff Family has lost an outstanding young man and a great Buff today, Colorado athletic director Rick George said Tuesday. We are heartbroken for Rashaan and his family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this very difficult time.The football team at Colorado tweeted about Salaams death.The Chicago Bears, who picked Salaam in the first round (No. 21 overall) of the 1995 draft, tweeted, Our thoughts are with his family.Denver Broncos director of player personnel Matt Russell, who was Salaams teammate at Colorado from 1992 to 94, released this statement:Rashaan was as dynamic off the field as he was on the field as a player. He was a fiercely loyal friend, someone who was always in your corner and had your back. He was the ultimate teammate and supportive of everyone in his locker room. If there was ever a guy who was going to get a personal foul for protecting someone on his team, Rashaan was that guy.Rashaan was the ultimate Buffalo and was so proud to be called a Colorado Buffalo. We were part of the same recruiting class, what we called nine deuce, the Class of 1992. On the field, Rashaan was the definition of a winner. It was important to him. He practiced hard, he played hard and he made our teams better. Rashaan and I laughed a lot after practices because we had so many battles and fights. Even when we last saw each other a few years ago at the CU Hall of Fame induction, we still shared those great memories and had a lot of laughs from our time together at Colorado.My heart goes out to Rashaans mother and his family. They have a lot to be proud of with the person that Rashaan was, the way he treated people and the friend he was to everyone he came across. He will be missed by so many, and I extend my deepest sympathies to Rashaans many friends and family.Salaam won the Heisman Trophy in 1994, a season in which the Buffaloes finished No. 3 in the final Associated Press poll. He rushed for 2,055 and 24 touchdowns that season and also won the Walter Camp and Doak Walker awards.During his rookie season, he became the youngest player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards. He was 21 years, 77 days old. He rushed for 1,074?and 10 touchdowns that season.Salaam was plagued by injuries and fumbles (he lost 14 in 31 games for the Bears). He acknowledged in 1999 that marijuana use contributed to his problems in Chicago. It probably had me out there lackadaisical instead of going out there 100 percent, he told ESPN in an interview then.Everybody thinks getting high is cool, you can let it go when you want to let it go, he said. But its just as potent as cocaine.Salaam broke his leg in the third game of the 1997 season, after committing two costly fumbles, and said that injury increased his addiction.Salaam told ESPN he had informed the Bears about his problem early in 1998 and entered a rehabilitation program, but the Bears later cut him, and he was out of football for a season.He signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders in 1999, but he was cut. He landed in Cleveland later that year and played two games for the Browns. He also was a member of the Green Bay Packers practice squad.Salaam also briefly played for the XFL Memphis Maniax in 2001.Salaam launched a comeback attempt in 2002 and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in 2003, but he was released before the season. He was signed by the CFLs Toronto Argonauts in February 2004 but was suspended in May, ending his professional career.

But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. It hasnt been a good year to be a defender for the Western Bulldogs, with their backmen bearing the brunt of the clubs shocking run of injuries.Skipper Bob Murphys season-ending knee injury headlined the extensive casualty list that also included front-line defenders like Jason Johannisen, Matt Suckling, Easton Wood and Marcus Adams at various stages.Despite that adversity newly-crowned coach of the year Luke Beveridge managed to mastermind a defence that conceded the third fewest points in the competition during the home-and-away season.This years been a challenging one of the injury front ... weve lost some key players, which has presented some challenges, veteran defender Dale Morris said.The thing with Bevo is we have guys playing multiple roles as well, so weve had some midfielders and some forwards come and play down back.Weve had guys who have just had to speend some time down there.ddddddddddddnd with our VFL team weve been able to play guys in different positions and train them up, so when they came in they knew exactly what was expected of them.Its been a key reason why we are where we are.Morris and fellow veteran Matthew Boyd have been vital to that success, avoiding the injury curse to anchor Beveridges back six.Morris, who will likely get the big job on Lance Franklin in the grand final, paid tribute to Boyd who earned a third All Australian nod for his stellar season.Over the past couple of years its been great to have that added experience down back, he said of the former top-line midfielder.Hes just embraced the role and done some really nice things in the back half.Hes been great.
