Holy shite...

The man was a legend for retiring at halftime. Apparently he was well liked by teammates as well.

He retired at halftime a few years ago. That's the move of someone going through something difficult mentally and he probably still was.

They just talked about that on McAfee. Darius sounded like he was close with him.

Still remember him on Hard Knocks when he got traded and seemed completely disinterested that he got traded, just asked to call his grandmother

He then became a really good corner in Indy after that. RIP Vontae.

RIP.

He was a good player and seemed like a good guy.

Mental health is the true pandemic in our country.
