Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead in a house in Southwest Ranches.
Vladimir Moise, Davis’ longtime friend and business partner, confirmed his death.
According to Broward property records, the residence on SW 178th Avenue is owned by Adaline Davis, grandmother of former Miami Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis.
Davie police investigators were called to the property Monday morning.
Davis’ former coach, Chester Frazier, also confirmed the death on X, formerly Twitter.
The Dolphins drafted Davis in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft but traded him to the Indianapolis Colts during the 2012 training camp.
Davis is perhaps best known for announcing his retirement in 2018, in the middle of a game between his team at the time, the Buffalo Bills, and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Davis, who played 10 seasons for various teams, was 35 years old.
