Lorenzo Neal, a friend, and Vernon Fox, a former teammate, remember Junior Seau.
The former 12-time All-Pro linebacker died at his home in Oceanside, near San Diego, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the chest, according to police.
Seau played 20 seasons in the NFL, most of those with the San Diego Chargers (1990-2002). He led the Chargers to their only Super Bowl appearance following the 1994 season.
Fox played with Seau during the 2002 season. Neal arrived in San Diego on month before Seau was traded to Miami during the spring of 2003. Despite note playing on the same team Neal and Seau developed a strong friendship.
