Damn, way too young. I remember him being a beast in the 80s.

A few other little known facts about him....

Following his football career Todd Christensen had tryouts with the Oakland A's and the Anaheim Angels but found his niche in Masters Track and Field where he set an age-group World Record in the Heptathlon and was the top decathlete in the world for ages 45-and-over.[5] Christensen became a broadcaster, co-hosting the second half of the first season of American Gladiators with Mike Adamle. He later joined the NFL on NBC as a color commentator from 1990 to 1994, teaming up with Charlie Jones for the first 4 years, see List of NFL on NBC commentator pairings.

Way too young, indeed. One of my favorite Raiders from the '80s.

First Chuck Muncie, now Christensen. Not a good year to be a former #46 in the NFL. Be safe, Doug Plank.

My father would have been dead many years ago.

He was great when on with Dan & Terry, like the mentioned during transition.

I want to say that he was on MJH too quite often if I'm not mistaken.

I could have listened to him talk about football all day with the guys. R.I.P., Todd.

This is very sad.

Todd Christensen was a hell of a football player, and I always enjoyed him as a broadcaster.

Rest in peace.
