More from Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders linebacker Ben Heeney, just a couple of weeks removed from walking away from what could have been a truly horrific car accident completely unscathed, must now deal with one of life’s darkest and most difficult realities – the suicide of a good friend.
Brandon Bourbon had been a teammate of Heeney’s while at the University of Kansas. Over their three seasons playing together, they formed a bond. They’d become brothers. But after three injury plagued seasons that limited him to just 81 carries over his time at Kansas, he transfered to Division II Washburn in Topeka.
