Former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams died on Tuesday at 36 years old after succumbing to injuries he suffered in a construction accident, his agent told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“He will be missed,” Williams’s agent Hadley Engelhard said, per Rapoport. “He fought hard his whole life. Prayers to his family.”
The Buccaneers, for whom he played the majority of his NFL career, and his alma mater Syracuse were among the organizations to pay tribute to Williams on Tuesday.
