Vontae Davis, former NFL cornerback and 2x Pro Bowler, has been found dead aged 35.

 

He was perhaps most famous for abruptly retiring mid-game in 2018. Sort of a proto-Antonio Brown.

Great player, you gotta wonder why he killed himself; no outlet for his energy or anger.  Imagine slamming into opponents for 20 years and then sitting in a recliner.  CTE study in 5, 4, 3, 2…

Los Angeles Rams legend Roman Gabriel died at the age of 83 on Saturday morning, his son announced on social media.

 

Gabriel spent the first 11 years of his NFL career with the Rams after being drafted second overall in 1962. During his 11 seasons in Los Angeles, he made the Pro Bowl three times and was a first-team All-Pro in 1969 – the same year he was voted league MVP.
