Mitchell Henry, a former NFL tight end who played for the Packers, Broncos, and Ravens, passed away on Friday due to complications from acute myeloid leukemia. He was 24.
Henry played tight end at Western Kentucky. There for four seasons, he caught 78 passes for 1,094 yards and 12 touchdowns. He entered the NFL in 2015 and appeared in two games with the Broncos during that season. He also made appearances on the Packers and Ravens' rosters.
Shortly after the news of his passing broke, the NFL and college football community mourned his death.
"It is with great sadness that we learned of Mitchell's passing this morning," Western Kentucky athletic director Todd Stewart said in a statement, per ESPN. "Mitchell was as committed to his teammates, his University, his friends and his family as anyone you will ever find, and we were so fortunate to have him as part of our Hilltopper family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his lovely wife Madison, and all of those who were blessed to have known Mitchell."
