I think this is a much different situation. This is a player that was robbed of his opportunity to truly establish himself as one of the all time great players in the NFL. He didn't get to have a long career for fans to remember. He had a few short years and then was taken from us, way before his time. For that reason, it is right to retire his jersey so that we can at least make sure that no one forgets him for both the great player that he was and the hall of famer that he could have been.
