Justin Conrad Strzelczyk (August 18, 1968 - September 30, 2004) was a former American football offensive lineman who played nine seasons in the NFL, all for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1990-1998.
Strzelczyk was born in West Seneca, New York and attended West Seneca West High School. He attended the University of Maine.
He died in a car accident, driving 90 miles per hour the wrong direction while being chased by the police through Herkimer, New York, and hit an empty tanker truck head-on. He was 36 years old. [1]
A post-mortem autopsy revealed that he had suffered from brain damage, likely due to his years of playing football. [2]
