San Diego Chargers linebacker and Hall of Famer whose relentless energy, passion and 12 Pro Bowl selections made him one of the most beloved and fearsome players of his generation.

Junior Seau was one of the most beloved and ferocious linebackers in NFL history, spending most of his career with the San Diego Chargers as a relentless pass rusher and sideline-to-sideline tackler. A 12-time Pro Bowl selection and leader of San Diego's defence throughout the 1990s, Seau's tragic death in 2012 brought widespread attention to the issue of CTE in football. He was posthumously inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
