how did he not play in the NFL?


He did have hip surgery his senior year. Don't know if that contributed to his inability to make the Rams or not.

Was writing a little and recently did this article for SB Nation

I don't think "seatbelts" are the issue.

I think alcohol is the issue, most-likely.


"The one-vehicle accident occurred at roughly 3:05 a.m. outside of LaGrange, Ga., said Gordy Wright, the director of the Georgia State Patrol's Public Information Office.

The 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe containing Lutzenkirchen and three others ran a stop sign and careened out of control for roughly 450 feet before overturning several times, coming to a rest on its roof.

Lutzenkirchen and the driver, Joseph Ian Davis, were killed. Another two passengers were taken to West Georgia Medical Center in LaGrange.

In a statement, Wright said blood was drawn from the driver to determine if alcohol impairment was a contributing factor to the accident."

I remember he was targeting the Senior Bowl as the time to get back into things that year.

I think he had some bone spurs in his hip and was also trying to recover from a torn labrum.

he was invited to the Senior Bowl. That week he did what he could but he could not practice or play because his doctors had still ruled him out.

I remember reading an article that he was projected as a 3rd or 4th round pick following the 2011 season. He decided to stay at Auburn for his senior season because getting the degree to him at the time was more important.
