Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis has reportedly died at age 35.

Davis was found dead Monday morning at a home owned by his grandmother in Southwest Ranches, Fla., WSVN reported.

Police said no foul play was involved, according to the report.

Davis played 10 NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2009-11), Indianapolis Colts (2012-17) and Buffalo Bills (2018).

Davis earned back-to-back Pro Bowl selections in 2014 and 2015 and finished his career with 22 interceptions, 97 passes defensed and 395 tackles.

The Dolphins drafted him in the first round (25th overall) in 2009 out of Illinois. His older brother is longtime NFL tight end Vernon Davis.

Davis is remembered for announcing his retirement in the middle of a Week 2 game between his Bills and the Los Angeles Chargers.
