Former NFL cornerback D.J. Hayden died at the age of 33 on Saturday.
According to a Houston Police Department report obtained by Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle, Hayden was among six people killed in a collision when a car sped through a red light near a freeway around 2 a.m. local time.
Duarte noted four people were pronounced dead at the scene, including former University of Houston cornerback Zach McMillian.
Hayden and McMillian were teammates on the Cougars for two seasons in 2011 and 2012. They were named to the program’s all-decade team for the 2010s. Hayden was also a two-time All-Conference-USA selection in his two college seasons.
