Former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett, who also played for New England, Houston and Baltimore for five NFL seasons, has died. He was 35 years old.
Mallett died in an apparent drowning, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. Mallett was a football coach at White Hall High School in his native Arkansas, and the school district also confirmed his death in a post on its website Tuesday.
Mallett played for the University of Michigan for one season before ending his college career with Arkansas. He had 7,493 yards and 62 touchdowns in two seasons with the Razorbacks.
Mallett was selected by New England in the third round in 2011. He played four games for the Patriots during the 2012 season, completing one of four passes for 17 yards.
New England coach Bill Belichick said he was “extremely saddened by Ryan’s tragic passing”.
Mallett has made six starts in nine games for the Texans and two starts in eight appearances for the Ravens. He completed 190 of his 345 attempts in the NFL for 1,835 yards and nine touchdowns with ten interceptions.
