Former Patriots quarterback Ryan Mallett handed away on Tuesday in a drowning accident, in response to a number of studies. He was 35 years previous.

Deltaplex Information first reported that Mallett was transported from a Florida seashore to a close-by hospital, the place he was pronounced lifeless. The superintendent at White Corridor Excessive College, the place Mallett served as head soccer coach, confirmed to Alyssa Orange of KNWA FOX24 that Mallett drowned on Tuesday. 

Mallett was chosen by the Patriots within the third spherical (74th general) of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Arkansas. The previous Razorback was the best quarterback taken by New England within the draft since taking Drew Bledsoe first general within the 1993 Draft.

Mallett performed in New England for 3 seasons, serving as Tom Brady’s main backup through the 2012-13 marketing campaign earlier than being traded to the Houston Texans in August 2014.

The 6-foot-6 quarterback, lauded for his arm energy, performed within the NFL from 2011-17 with the Patriots, Texans and Ravens. He appeared in 21 profession NFL video games and began eight of them, throwing for 1,835 yards, 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

The Patriots launched an announcement following Mallett’s reported passing on Tuesday.

“The New England Patriots are deeply saddened to be taught of the sudden and sudden passing of former quarterback Ryan Mallett,” the assertion stated. “Our ideas are with the Mallett household, his former teammates and all who’re mourning his loss.”

Invoice Belichick, in his personal assertion, stated: “I’m extraordinarily saddened by Ryan’s tragic passing. My ideas and prayers are together with his household and the many individuals whose lives he touched.”

Just a few of Mallett’s former teammates in New England, together with Julian Edelman, James White, and Brandon Bolden, took to social media to pay their respects.
