Another lost for COLTS as Reggie Wayne Reacts to The Death Of Vontae Davis..On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts and the NFL got rocked with some unfortunate news as former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead at 35 years old in Florida.
Davis spent a decade in the NFL and carved out quite a successful career while playing for the Miami Dolphins, Colts, and one season with the Buffalo Bills, resulting in two Pro Bowl appearances.
With Davisβ passing happening suddenly and expectedly, some of his former teammates have reacted to the news on social media, with retired wide receiver and Colts legend Reggie Wayne being one of those who expressed his condolences for his friend.
βSad Day. We used to battle everyday in practice. Sometimes it ended in a bunch of bickering and almost fights. We got each other better. It was a pleasure wearing the horseshoe with you homie. Rest easy βChamp.β Praying for your family and love ones,β he tweeted.
With Wayne and Davis going head-to-head in practice on a daily basis during the NFL season, it comes as no surprise that they would become close and strive to make each other better football players, which they definitely did during their time together in Indianapolis.
Along with Wayne, who shared his condolences on Davisβ passing, the Dolphins, Colts, and Bills franchises paid tribute to the former cornerback on Monday, as did former Colts wideout T.Y. Hilton and Colts team owner Jim Irsay.
During his decade-long career in the NFL, Davis recorded 22 interceptions, 2.0 sacks, and 344 solo tackles while playing for three different teams on the professional level.
