Read that he is working out at the ND pro day tomorrow. Haven't heard his name in quite some time.

Wish him the best. Always felt he was never coached up at ND and he was a guy I initially looked to eventually break out. Again-tear it up Ethan.

Horrible, was he diagnosed with CTE? I will be praying for him.

CTE can only been diagnosed postmortem

Man, this is so unfortunate news. Even his weight is shocking. I know football players, especially lineman lose weight after their playing days, but he's down almost 100 pounds.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (KPTV) - The Vancouver Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating a missing man.

Ethan Andrew Johnson, 32, was last seen on or about Oct. 8 in the area of 5585 Evergreen Boulevard.

Police said Johnson suffers from traumatic brain injury as well as mental illness manifesting in schizo-effective disorder, paranoid schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and suffers from depression. He is supposed to be on medication, but police said it is unknown if he is current on his dosage.

Johnson is described as 6 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 210 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a birthmark on his left ear and a mole near his right eye.

If seen, police ask that you do not attempt contact but alert emergency services instead.

210 is crazy
A lot of linemen drop weight once they're out of college. If you're not bulking up and not lifting regularly the pounds will drop. That's definitely pretty svelt for 6'5" though.
Hope they find him, prayers.

So, you're saying by BMI standards he's just 1 pound from overweight?
BMI has never been a perfect standard for health because it doesn't differentiate between muscle mass and fat. If I had to guess Ethan is probably not as strong as he was in college, but he was listed at 300 lbs in the NFL so he's dropped 90 pounds in the last 7 years. The last thing I can find on him was a brief interview he did for a high school that he was working at in 2015. He listed among his hobbies that he liked to work out, so I doubt he was just carrying a lot of fat.

No offense but finding transient mentally ill people in Portland OR is like finding a specific grain of sand in the desert.

Quick internet search without new info on if he was found...which has to be the case, right? If ND fans weren't aware of his plight, would be a nice cause to rally behind. Prayers.

I would think something would have been reported by now if he was found. I checked a couple weeks ago and nothing recently from what I'm seeing. Praying for the best, but fearing the worst at this point.

Our D-Line from the first few Kelly years have had some absolute tragedies. Would love to see him found safe, but this is concerning.

The

The irony of someone with "420" in his name being that out of touch lmao
Not at all, it shows that open-minded, well-informed, and not affected by one-sided propaganda arguments in favor of unregulated, open-air narcotics markets.
