Vontae Davis was found dead Monday morning in the household of Adaline Davis, grandmother of the former NFL player.

Davis was a 2009 first round draft selection by the Miami Dolphins out of the University of Illinois. He was named to the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team and recorded 9 interceptions throughout his three year career with the Dolphins.

After being traded to the Colts, Davis was recognized league-wide by being selected to the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2015.

Davis is also infamous for retiring at halftime of a Week 2 matchup while he was a member of the Buffalo Bills.

He is the brother of two time pro bowl tight end Vernon Davis and husband to Megan Harpe.
