Former NFL receiver Mike Williams, who was the runner-up for Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2010, has tragically passed away after being involved in an accident at a construction site.
According to a GoFundMe page created by Williams’ family, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver sustained a “massive head injury” when a steel beam fell on him. This incident resulted in “complete paralysis in his right arm as well as his lower body from the waist down.”
Tragically, Williams’ condition continued to worsen in the following days, and on Monday, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away, as reported by Spectrum News 1’s Jon Scott.
At the young age of 36, the world has lost a talented athlete.
The news of Mike Williams’ untimely passing has sent shockwaves through the football community. His former teammate, Gerald McCoy, expressed his devastation on Twitter upon learning of the tragic news.
“I’m deeply saddened by the news of my former teammate and Buccaneers 2010 draft class brother Mike Williams,” McCoy shared on Twitter. “He had a contagious positive energy and was an incredible player! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. 🙏🏾😔”
Williams was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He had an exceptional rookie season, earning him the second-place spot for Offensive Rookie of the Year, right behind Sam Bradford.
Although Williams spent three more seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2014. Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate the success of his rookie season and left the league after just one year with the Bills.
During his career, Mike Williams accumulated a total of 3,089 receiving yards and 26 receiving touchdowns in 63 games.
Rest in peace, Mike Williams.
