Former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis found dead at his grandmother's home, age 35. No cause of death has been given and police have deemed it NOT suspicious. COD will be forthcoming after the autopsy. (Not adding a Suddenly flair until COD known, but possibilities MAY include...)

🧠 #SUDDENLY 💀
From one of the comments on the article (I didn't verify this), Mr Davis retired from football in 2018 so he wouldn't have been mandated to take the experimental drugs, but perhaps he thought they were a good idea, keep grandma safe and all. He was 29-30 when he left the NFL so perhaps there was something about the NFL he didn't want to abide by.
In any case professional ball players are generally in top condition and at his age a premature death is certainly suspect. Young, healthy, athletic... and now deceased. Like so many others. Rest in peace, Mr Davis. 🙏✝️
His "retirement" was odd. He walked out in the middle of a game. He said he was "done", and he never went back.
See my sbnation link below for his official statement. What I didn't see is any discussion around what most certainly must be him breaking his contract with the NFL. Maybe a case of "I'll keep my mouth closed about the real reason if you don't try to fine me or otherwise financially penalize me"? It would tie in with the DUI incident a few years later where he crashed his car into another car and was found stone cold asleep on the pavement several feet away, or so the story goes. The conscience can eat away at a person who trades money for silence about knowledge of wrongdoing. In the realm of theories it's just one of many, but perhaps it's really what he stated, no shadowy DS players in the background, etc. right now the search engines are flooded with the news of his untimely death so it's difficult to dig for any red flags. I hope we hear definitively the CoD from the autopsy at least. Right now we have a big knowledge gap.
