Former NFL guard Jordan Devey, 38, died by suicide, family says - ESPN

What the report says

ESPN reported that former NFL guard Jordan Devey has died at age 38. The report, citing his family, said Devey died by suicide this week. ESPN identified him as a Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, linking his death to a career that included time at the highest level of professional football.

The available ESPN excerpt does not provide additional details about where Devey died, the exact date, funeral arrangements, or any family statement beyond the cause of death attributed to relatives. Because the full article text was not available in the supplied material, those circumstances should be treated as unreported here unless confirmed by ESPN or the family.

As general background separate from ESPN’s cited report, Devey was known to NFL followers as an interior offensive lineman whose career included roster stops with multiple teams after entering the league as an undrafted player. His Patriots connection is especially notable because New England’s Super Bowl-winning teams of that era remain among the NFL’s most closely followed, and former players from those rosters often remain familiar to fans.

Devey’s death adds to continuing concern around mental health and support systems for current and former athletes, though no broader conclusion about his personal circumstances can be drawn from the information supplied. If you or someone you know may be in crisis, in the United States and Canada you can call or text 988 for immediate mental health support.
