*(Via Yahoo Sports) – O.J. Murdock, a reserve receiver for the Tennessee Titans, was found in his car on Monday morning with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
He was taken to a local hospital and died at 10:43 a.m. Murdock was 25.
Murdock had signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2011, but didn’t see any game action due to injury.
The Titans, who opened training camp on July 27, had Murdock on the Did Not Report list.
Murdock was found outside of Middleton High School in Tampa Bay, the high school he attended.

I mean, we talking about a profession which would only occupy a few years of his life. Did he not have a backup plan in case football didn’t work out?
