Former Patriots OL Korey Cunningham dead at 28

The New England Patriots family and the football world are grieving on Friday, as news broke that NFL offensive lineman Korey Cunningham passed away at 28 years old.

According to RLS Media, his death was "self-inflicted."

Cunningham played collegiately at Cincinnati before becoming a seventh-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018.

New England traded a 2020 sixth-round pick for Cunningham in 2019, and he spent two seasons with the Patriots.

Cunningham played for the New York Giants from 2021-22 and was cut just before the start of the 2023 season.
