Former NFL receiver Mike Williams, who had 26 touchdown receptions over a five-season career, mostly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has died after a construction accident in the Tampa area. He was 36.
Williams sustained a “massive head injury” when a beam fell on his head, causing swelling in his brain and spine with near-complete paralysis, the father wrote. He “passed out” on Sept. 1 while encountering breathing problems and “never recovered consciousness.”
“Dang man hurts my heart seeing the news of my former teammate and Buccaneers 2010 draft class brother Mike Williams,” ex-Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy wrote on X. “Always great energy, brought joy and laughter to the locker room and a heck of a player!! Prayers and blessings to his family!!”
