The greatest Buff of all time. So many great memories both on and off the field. A great young man that was lost too soon. My heart goes out to his family may God always bless you and bring peace to you. RIP (Rejoicing in Paradise)

The greatest Buff of all time. RIP (rejoicing in paradise). My heart felt condolences to his family

My heartfelt condolence to you in this very difficult time. As you grieve the loss of your dear love one may you find strength and comfort knowing our creator is aware of your pain.Isiah 61:2

Very sad. Young talent gone too soon. Prayers up for his friends and family.

Faith enables Christians to cope with any difficulties. Jesus told his disciples that if they had faith the size of a mustard grain, nothing would be impossible for them. (Matthew 17:20) In that way, he stressed the power of faith, a fruit of holy spirit. Jesus thus emphasized, not what humans, but what God's spirit, or active force, can do.

Rest in paradise. ..

I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY, I LOST MY BROTHER SO SUDDEN AND IT WAS TRULY UNEXPECTED TWO WEEKS AGO. I PRAY YOUR STRENGTH IN GOD ALMIGHTY. STAY STRONG JESUS CARES FOR YOU.

My condolences to the Parents and family of Rashaan Salaam. I remember his smile and his love of the game of football. I will remember him always.

My heart aches! I had the priviledge of meeting Rashaan when he came to help out at a football camp in Torrington, WY, in 2014. He was so down to earth and so likeable! He made me laugh and he cared. I felt like I had known him my whole life. It's hard to believe his death is real and I know there are sooooo many others out there hurting and in shock! My prayers go out to all his family and friends. I will miss you, Rashaan, and there will forever be a void in my heart because you are...
