Former NFL quarterback Ryan Mallett died Tuesday from drowning at a beach near Destin, Florida, per Luke Matheson of Deltaplex News. He was 35.

The superintendent of White Hall High School in Arkansas, where Mallett was the head coach, confirmed the news.

Mallett was transported from the beach to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Matheson.

This is a developing story. No further updates are available at this time.

Mallett began his college football career at Michigan in 2007 as a backup to Chad Henne before transferring to Arkansas and starting 26 games between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Been a rough year for former Hogs in water, Peyton Hillis got extremely lucky and Mallett not so much.

Hillis was a hero
