This is some pretty crappy news, ESPN is reporting he was in a motorcycle accident. He was one of the unsung heroes during NE's first SB dynasty especially in 2001. He never put up gawdy statlines but he was always a pretty reliable deep threat during his time in NE.
Was just one of ten NFL players to ever throw.catch & run for touchdowns in the same game against the Colts in 2001.
Caught Drew Bledsoe's last touchdown pass in a Pats jersey during the 2001 AFCCG in Pittsburgh
Caught Tom Brady's first career SB touchdown pass during the 2001 SB vs Rams.

And Keith McCants died too. 53 years old. Played for the Bucs. Drug OD. Terrible.

Very sad. I don't know a lot about his story, other than that he was a very high draft pick who had a short career.
