Former NFL linebacker Ronald Powell has died, according to the NFLPA. He was 32.

"Today we mourn the loss of Ronald Powell -- a father, a brother, and a son who was loved and cherished by so many. We send comfort to all those who knew Ronald. #RIP," the NFLPA Former Players account wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday morning.

The New Orleans Saints selected Powell out of Florida in the fifth round of the 2014 draft. Powell played in 14 games as a rookie for the Saints, but was placed on injured reserve at the beginning of the 2015 season and waived.
