In a shocking development, Vontae Davis, the former NFL cornerback, has been found dead in a Florida home. He was 35.
The discovery of Davis’s body was made at a residence in Southwest Ranches, Florida, owned by his grandmother, approximately 30 miles north of Miami. Local authorities have confirmed the incident, saying that while the investigation remains active, foul play is not suspected at this juncture.
Davis played in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, and briefly for the Buffalo Bills. Davis was perhaps best known for his surprising mid-game retirement during halftime of a Bills game against the Los Angeles Chargers in September 2018.
The unexpected decision garnered a fair amount media attention about the pressures and the physical and mental toll of professional football. Over his career, Davis was recognized for his skill on the field, including multiple Pro Bowl selections. After retiring, he kept a relatively low profile, focusing on his personal life and interests outside of football.
