Former Buffalo Bills CB Vontae Davis passes away at age 35
We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of former Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis
Former Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis has passed away at the age of 35. A former first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins, the two-time All-Pro Davis played a decade in the NFL with three different franchises.
Following an abrupt end in Buffalo to his football career, Davis found a new calling in retirement. A year after leaving the NFL behind, Davis became the CEO of a holistic wellness spa in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area in 2019. That same year, Vontae Davis saw the publication of his first children’s book, “The Middle School Rules of Vontae Davis” (as told by Sean Jensen) — which chronicles Davis’ journey from his roots in Washington, D.C., to his life as a professional athlete and beyond
Davis’ passing comes as a profound shock to the NFL community, with news outlets stating that a house assistant discovered an unresponsive Vontae in his Southwest Ranches, FL home. When officers arrived on scene in response to the radioed medical emergency, Davis, two months’ shy of his 36th birthday, had already passed.
In ten seasons as an NFL cornerback, Vontae Davis played in 121 games (starting 113), making 395 tackles (344 solo), 10 tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, 22 interceptions (for 228 yards) with one touchdown, 97 pass defenses, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. As a member of the Indianapolis Colts, Davis became a two-time Pro Bowl selection during the 2014 and 2015 NFL seasons.

A week before his unexpected death on April 1 at his home in south Florida, former Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis promoted his children’s book, “The Middle School Rules of Vontae Davis,” on Instagram. “Excited to share my journey from DC to where I am today through my signed children’s book! 📚 Packed with invaluable life lessons and gratitude for my support system.”
Amazon‘s description of the book reads, “At age 11, Vontae and his siblings faced living in separate foster homes, but Grandma Adaline refused to allow it, adopting and raising all seven children despite financial difficulties. With some guidance from his older brother Vernon (two-time Pro Bowl tight end), Vontae earned a college football scholarship, and after three years entered the NFL.”
