Coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, Valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease.

If he had any of the above, he would not be an elite athlete playing football for the NFL.

The other cause of cardiac arrest is electrical problems in the heart. We do know that he took a blow to the chest before collapsing. This can disturb electrical activity in the heart. The syndrome is known as commotio cordis.

Nobody knows what exactly what his current status is. But they do know the cause of the cardiac arrest.
