Former NFL linebacker and Florida State star Geno Hayes died Monday evening from liver disease, the Buccaneers confirmed Tuesday.
Hayes was 33.
"Thoughts and prayer for the family and friends of Geno Hayes," head coach Mike Norvell said in a tweet. "He lived his life as a tremendous Seminole who impacted so many throughout his journey on and off the field. His legacy will live on."
“It's one of those things where you have to make sure you tell them you love them,” Hayes's high school coach Frankie Carroll told the Tallahassee Democrat after being informed of Hayes's death.
