Davis played 10 NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2009-11),
Indianapolis Colts (2012-17) and Buffalo Bills (2018).
Davis earned back-to-back Pro Bowl selections with the Colts in
2014 and 2015 and finished his career with 22 interceptions, 97
passes defensed and 395 tackles.
"Extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Vontae Davis,"
Colts owner Jim Irsay posted on X. "A great guy, teammate,
player. My prayers to Vontae's family."
The Dolphins released their own statement Monday: "We are
heartbroken by the sudden passing of former Dolphins CB Vontae
Davis and extend our deepest condolences to his family & loved
ones during this difficult time."
The Dolphins drafted Davis in the first round (25th overall) in
2009 out of Illinois. His older brother is longtime NFL tight
end Vernon Davis.
Davis is remembered for announcing his retirement in the middle
of a Week 2 game during the 2018 season between his Bills and
the Los Angeles Chargers.
