Tragic news surfaced this Monday when it was learned that former Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Rick Bryan had died of a fatal heart attack at his home in Oklahoma City. Bryan, 47, was a two-time All-American at the University of Oklahoma and was selected by the Falcons with the ninth pick in the 1984 NFL draft.
While with the Falcons, Bryan was advised to retire in 1989 after he was diagnosed with a spinal nerve injury. However, he continued to play and started 19 of 34 games over the next three seasons.
