Former NFL and University of Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett has died in an apparent drowning incident along Florida's Gulf Coast. He was 35 years old.
Mallett played in college as a freshman at Michigan before transferring to Arkansas, where he played two seasons. He was selected in the third round of the 2011 draft by the New England Patriots. He played seven seasons in the NFL with the Patriots, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens.
A native of Batesville, Arkansas, Mallett was one of the best high school quarterbacks to ever play in his home state.

He transferred to Arkansas after the retirement of Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and started as a sophomore and junior with the Razorbacks. He declared for the draft after his junior season to join the NFL.

He made nine appearances including six starts for the Texas before they released him midseason in 2015. He then signed with the Ravens, where he made eight appearances including two starts through the 2017 season.Friends, teammates, opponents and organizations from Mallett's football career reacted to his death.
