NFL legend Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, CA from an apparent shooting, reports TMZ. He was 43.

It is being reported the former football star allegedly shot himself.

Seau is seen as one of the greatest middle linebackers and credited with making the “middle line backer” position physical. He was a 12-time Pro Bowler and 6-time First-Team All-Pro, was selected fifth overall in the 1990 NFL draft after an outstanding collegiate career at USC.

He played with the San Diego Chargers through the 2002 season, spent 2003-2005 with the Miami Dolphins, and then signed with the New England Patriots in time for the 2006 season.

Junior Seau leaves behind three children and an ex-wife.
