Former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams is dead at age 36 after being injured in a construction site accident in Hillsborough County, Florida, which includes Tampa. His former team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers confirmed his death on social media.
On Tuesday, the Buccaneers announced Williams' passing and offered their condolences to family and loved ones.
"We are saddened to hear of the untimely death of Mike Williams, which has left our organization, his former teammates, and fans with heavy hearts," the team said in a statement. "We send our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones as they mourn this tragedy."
The Buffalo, New York native was drafted by the Buccaneers in the fourth round in the 2010 NFL Draft. At the time, Williams was a star wide receiver at Syracuse for three seasons, according to Syracuse University which posted a statement on their website.
"We're saddened to learn of the tragic passing of former Syracuse student-athlete Mike Williams," said Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "We extend our deepest sympathies to Mike's family, friends and everyone in the Syracuse football family who knew Mike."
His first few years with the Buccaneers were standouts- including his rookie season where he led the team with 65 catches for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns, CBS Sports reported.
Williams finished out his career playing for his hometown team, the Buffalo Bills in 2014.

I saw Rapoport's tweet saying "after a tough battle", which didn't make sense.
Apparently, he's been in a medically induced coma since surgery, the accident was on September 1st...
Accident and death Williams worked in construction in the Tampa Bay area following his NFL career. On September 1, 2023, he was severely injured in a worksite accident in which a steel beam fell on his head, paralyzing his right arm and his body from the waist down.[34] He was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa.[32][35] While he initially appeared to be faring well after surgery, his condition declined rapidly and he was placed in a medically induced coma.[36] After conflicting reports as to whether Williams had died or not on the evening of September 5, Lyle said the following day that Williams was alive and on life support.[32] By September 7, Lyle stated that Williams had been taken off life support, but was surviving and responsive.[33] However, Williams died on September 12, at the age of 36.[37]
I listened to Victory Monday podcast of Cleveland Browns Daily and the first thing heard was "Call me Elf, one more time". Then the "he's an angry elf" line. I laughed so hard I about tripped while I was taking my walk.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
He would’ve been fun to watch at Ohio State. He picked Texas over OSU because his grandma (if I remember correctly) wanted him to play close to home.

if you've been keeping up with it, there's no way anybody's calling him ever again

Van Jefferson is someone who always makes nice plays but then I forget about him

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne

I'd expect him to go to Carolina, Indianapolis, Atlanta, or Houston

I'd take Jeudy or Adams over anything we have currently on the roster as opposite of Cooper.

oh no doubt ... but we don't have much to give up, then we'd have to pay him ... not to mention is it worth is? our QB is literally an XFL guy

Julio is a non-factor, but it pushes his HOF back another year

Hardman and Clark back to KC .. they'll be improved from both

Hardman was one I was hoping we could snag on the cheap

thats a good trade for Philly. Byard is a consistent force back there
