    Man...this is crazy. To die of natural causes at 25, as an athlete at that. R.I.P. to the big fella. Condolences to his family and the Purdue family!!!

    From what I am hearing, Caleb weighed over 600 lbs. and was diabetic. His organs started shutting down.

    If you recall, he was massively overweight as a teenager....then got in better shape to get to Purdue....then really got in his best shape before his final season at Purdue. Sadly, all the signs were there that his weight would be problematic, and it got out of control quickly once he got drafted.
