Police said in a statement the former Miami, Indianapolis and Buffalo player was discovered by a house assistant.
FORMER NFL player Vontae Davis, who abruptly retired from the sport in the middle of a game in 2018, was found dead on Monday at his home in Florida, police confirmed.
“This morning, Davie Police Officers responded to 6051 SW 178th Avenue in reference to a medical call,” police in Davie, South Florida said in a statement. In 2018 he signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, but dramatically retired from the sport at half-time during the Bills 31-20 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.“Today on the field, really hit me fast and hard: I shouldn’t be out there anymore,” Davis said in an Instagram post. “While I was on the field, I just didn’t feel right.
The Dolphins, Colts and Bills all posted social media messages of condolence to Davis’s family and loved ones on Monday.
