Former Stanford Football Player And 49er Konrad Reuland Dies Of Brain Aneurysm At 29

A Stanford alumnus originally signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2011 according to Bleach Report, Konrad Reuland, 29, died Monday. News of this death broke at a press conference with Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh covered by CSN Mid-Atlantic. Reuland most recently played in Baltimore with the Ravens from 2014 to 2015, who were one of four teams on which he participated.

"Just want to offer condolences to his family," Harbaugh said at the conference. "We love Konrad Reuland... Every single guy in that locker room loves him who knows him." Harbaugh read a psalm on behalf of Reuland.

The Washington Post specifies that Reuland suffered the aneurysm that eventually took his life on November 28 and underwent surgery the next day. On Monday he passed in his home in California.

The Indianapolis Star recalls that Reuland was born in Mission Viejo California and first played with Notre Dame before transferring to Stanford. Frequently signed and cut by teams over his brief career, he described it as "A crazy life."

“I’ve had injuries at the wrong time," he said to the Star. "I’ve been cut at the end of camp. I’ve made the team at the end of camp. You just never know.”
