The NFL world is currently mourning the loss of former Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, and Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis, who tragically passed away on Monday at the age of 35.

Davis last played in the NFL briefly with the Bills in 2018. He initially came into the league as a first-round pick by the Dolphins, where he played from 2009-11 before being traded to the Colts in 2012, where he spent six seasons and saw great success, earning two Pro Bowl nods.

The Colts released a statement on Monday:

We are devastated to hear of Vontae Davis’s passing. He was a standout player in his six seasons with the Horseshoe, but he was an even better teammate who carried a smile and positive energy every day. He will be deeply missed, and we send our prayers to his family and loved ones.

Word of Davis' passing quickly spread throughout social media as his former teammates and those who cared for him began posting tributes. Here are a handful of posts from those who spent time with Davis on the Colts.

Sad 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 "Champ." Praying for your family and love ones. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 🙏🏾 R.I.P. #VD21 pic.twitter.com/zfb8efeX2o
