He left the game and the stadium early, leaving behind a heartbroken fan base that had waited for a new era with the Jets. Sadly, the bad news did not end there for the fans.

He also worked with NFL trailblazer Michael Sam, Eagles running back Boston Scott, and various professional soccer and baseball players.

Ekeler posted an Instagram message saying that Weiss had been “like a brother” to him and that he would always live on in his story.

An X user named ‘Dom Davii’ commented on Pelissero’s post, “Rest in peace. God be with his family.”
