He was one of my favorite players when I was growing up. I remember that great Philly defense of the late '80s and early 90s with guys like Jerome Brown (also died young), Clyde Simmons, Eric Allen, and Seth Joyner.
He was truly an awesome player. He had the most fearsome pass rush move of any player I have seen in the modern era. He would do that move where he would charge the OT and then when the OT pushed back, White would hook his arm under the OT's arm and literally hip-toss the guy. I saw White pull that move on 400+ lbs Korey Stringer in a game against the Vikings about 7 years ago.
You will be missed, Reggie.
RIP, big man.

Agreed. Reggie White was a huge role model for me and I'm sure many others.
