38 - way too soon. It appears he struggled with a myriad of health issues, and after his playing days were over, his weight had ballooned to 500+ lbs.

RIP, Pillsbury Throwboy

Damn, lost 80lbs and still had a ways to go ... but that’s so much weight! Sad he couldn’t live to be the face of massive weight loss/lifestyle change like he wanted to be.

Gotta admit - that was always one of my favorite nicknames.

Godspeed Jared.

Terribly sad. Seemed like a good guy who just had a weight problem...and really wanted to beat it.

Some guys are lucky to have 1 good nickname...he had a bunch. But nothing beats “The Pillsbury Throwboy”.
