Darrent Williams

Darrent Williams had an extremely productive career at the Oklahoma State University, and in 2005, he was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos.

Sadly, he only played two seasons at Mile High Stadium. On New Year’s Day in 2007, Williams was killed in his limousine in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver. Williams was only 24 years old when his life was taken.
