Ex-Notre Dame RB George Atkinson III and son of former Super Bowl champ George Atkinson II — died yesterday. This news comes less than 1 year after his twin brother committed suicide.
Circumstances surrounding the death are uncertain at this moment… But the former NFL player said losing his brother, Josh, last December took a serious toll on him.
He wrote a letter in October saying Josh’s death put him “on an emotional roller coaster and in a real dark place.”
He even admitted he attempted to “harm himself” shortly after the death and had to be institutionalized but it was his 2-year-old daughter was keeping him going.
“Without my daughter, I don’t know where I would be right now. She gave me that second wind of motivation.”
Atkinson III was a top recruit in the country coming out of high school in 2011 … and was a stud for Notre Dame from ’11 to ’13 — scoring 10 career TDs.
He went on to play two seasons in the NFL, one for the Raiders and one for the Browns … and scored a memorable preseason TD in 2016. REST IN PEACE!!!!
