    A former University of Iowa player who was in training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers is hospitalized after suffering a heart attack on Friday while working out at his old high school. Brett Greenwood, 23, was released last week by the Steelers in final cuts and was working out at Pleasant Valley High School in Iowa when he collapsed on the field, according to the Quad Cities Times. Greenwood's heart had apparently stopped and was shocked with a defibrillator to restore a pulse.

    Scares the crap outta you! I feel the need to immediately go run or something, I'm only 22 and I'm damn sure dude's in better shape than me.

    Get better!

    Don't go run...you might strain yourself too much...just do what you do...:icon_eek:

    It's sad. Hopefully the kid pulls through. It was scary before but to hear he had a heart attack makes you think twice about everything. So young...
