Former Rams UDFA dies

USA Today

Sad Rams alumni news to report: former Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen was killed in a car accident this morning outside LaGrange, Georgia. CBSSports.com article  He was a passenger in a pickup truck that went out of control and crashed after missing a stop sign. The driver was also killed. One passenger is still hospitalized, and the fourth, the only one state police report was wearing a seat belt, was treated and released.

Sigh. Wear your seat belts, people. Please.

Lutzenkirchen was signed by the Rams last year as a rookie free agent and made it all the way to final cuts in training camp. He had two catches for 18 yards in the first preseason game at Cleveland and showed a lot of good receiving skills in practice. He was one of the better H-backs in college football as a sophomore and a junior and was a clutch receiver for Auburn's 2010 national champions. Condolences to Philip's family, friends and fans.
