Grieving NFL Player Quits Football After Tragic Loss of Daughter

In November 2025, Indianapolis Colts cornerback, 29, is still grappling with the devastating loss of his 3-year-old daughter Amani Joy, who passed away in October 2024. In a series of posts on his Instagram Stories, the player shared his ongoing grief, stating that he hasn't "been happy" since his daughter's death.

To commemorate what would have been Amani's 3rd birthday, the grieving father posted several pictures of his little girl, writing "Happy heavenly birthday Amani 👼🏽 Haven't been happy since you left us. God was wrong for this 💔." He went on to express his complete disinterest in football, money or fame, saying "F--- football. F--- this money. F--- any type of fame. Don't care for none of it. Lost without my baby."

The Colts player revealed that the trauma of his daughter's passing has deeply impacted his life, causing him to suffer from PTSD. He shared that he often experiences symptoms like vomiting, night sweats and waking up in the middle of the night. The athlete also mentioned that his girlfriend, Amani's mother, doesn't want to return to California, where the tragedy occurred, due to the painful memories.
