Same here I just literally heard and I’m in the U.K. Totally shocked. A very good player for a very long time. His brother Vernon was on the Broncos for a year and there was a moving scene where before they played each other in 2015 they dapped each other up and embraced. By accounts they were close. Rip Vontae and condolences to the Davis family.
Michael Jones dude I know. Everything about this video is sad. The way it shows him working on his own at the beginning. The grandma thing. Even the cargo pants and the way he walks into the office.
Ignatius he had no clue at this point what was in his future. to be honest, considering how emotional he looked, this trade was the motivation to become what is today, just to spite the dolphins.
His death hits hard man… I did t even know him personally but I knew him as a player and I loved it when he was with the Colts he was a great player man. Breaks my heart. FortheShoe
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that---the worst thing you could want is someone with inconsistent consistency. Well, technically inconsistently inconsistent guys are the worst, but most of them don't make it past the high school level.
He probably wanted to tell her before heard it on the news and worried. Wasn't much of a business meeting. The GM didn't say anything of substance. Just repeated himself.
How does retiring in the middle of the game mean you're "all that"? You can't wait till after the game? After months of working with the team and being a part of an organization you just quit? That's definitely not all that.
This trade lit a fire in Vontae...regardless of what happened yesterday this dude is a great person and he had a great career. Dolphins didn't know what they had...as usual.
@@TheJester39, well put. I say all the time some guys wouldn't be the same without that curveball thrown at them. I can guarantee we wouldn't still be talking about Tom Brady without that huge chip on his shoulder...
@@TheJester39 He had a good career. Most NFL players don't even last 4-6 years. He had like a 9 year career with 2 Pro Bowls and several great seasons.
Vontae Davis just passed away today, April 1st 2024…. I can’t believe it bro I remember watching this years ago and rooting for the guy and to lose his life at 35 is just terrible.
i don't think people really understand what these guys go through, to know that you give it your all for the love of the game and your team and then their just thrown aside it's like when Wilmer Flores thought the mets were trading him and he started crying on the field ( watching that game as a met fan I think I cried a little to seeing him like that ) but hey he went to a better team and is now a well respected corner while the dolphins are still a laughing stock of an organization ( little bias coming from a jet fan 😜)
Luis Hernandez I'm Glad we got him. Indeed he was the best CB in the league last year. People say Brent Grimes is better, but he only did a few good plays. Vontae Davis should be higher on the top 100 players
Yeah. I do think that now that people know who he is, he will be a standout CB, and definitely top 3 in the league, although I think he is either the best or the second best right now
Yeah you are right, the stats don't lie. He is in the top 10 of CB but not the best. You are talking about him being ahead of Revis, Sherman, Pat Pete? Come on son
MrPJScott - The Iron Man of UA-cam Yeah. When he asked who he was traded for, and they said a few picks, he was broken. I'm just glad we got him (I'm a Colts fan too)
Yeah...but he was really good for them the first few seasons he was on the Colts. Everyone eventually gets old and shitty and ya gotta git rid of em at that point.
@@harvardarchaeologydept3799 how us that considering that only 47% of Buffalo is white and 37% is black (that's only a 10% difference so just based on that calling it racist is dumb af) and 4% are more than one race..

@@richardgrace5043 this is going to be difficult for you to understand, but none of what you said has anything to do with people being racist. It's about how people treat each other, not what % of the population is white.
Id say he was the best corner in nfl until his injury. He hadnt allowed a single td for 2 years til when he got injured. That is clutch. Watch brady closely when he faced the colts on tape. Brady ALWAYS avoided vontae even in the afc championship when he won 47-7.

RIP Vonte been a Colts fan since I was a child , I’m a Hoosier for life , loved watching you play for my Colts , you made plays I’ll never forget. RIP forever
Rest in peace man. This particular video added to my personal repertoire of how “not to give up” and a personal motivation type of story. and to hear that you passed, honestly hurt me in a weird kind of way. Rest easy man!
Nobody know what he's going through physically, mentally, emotionally for to make some irrational decision like this but quick to jump on the bashing Vontae Davis Wagon smh
Yea your right about that, alot of coaching staffs need to be fired because its countless cases of where a gifted player is traded or released from the league just because the team that drafted them couldn't bring them along properly so they get shunned by the rest of the league shit is ridiculous because it is tarnishing the game theres more gifted players on the street then there are in the league and it all boils down to the league giving up on them smh
RIP Vontae 🙏🏾 you definitely put a inspiration on everyone out there who’ve felt like they weren’t good enough in any sport or anything in life and succeeded working hard like you did when you hit that pro bowl. Stay up King 🕊️
Just seeing this today, when we said he wanted to call his grandma, and the look of pure pain on his face is heartbreaking. But he became a top 5 CB in the league and made millions and millions so good for my boi VONTAE!!
As a Dolphins fan I'm glad Vontae went to a serious contender. Who wouldn't want to play for the Colts? They're for real. This was very emotional. Thanks for sharing this video.
driftracerr34 no but that's what happens when a new coach comes in... they want their own players. just how he got rid of dansby..... did you not see the video ireland is asking him for his opinion and philbin didn't defend him
They could've nurtured this guy, instead they cut him loose after 2 years. They could've done something to turn his career around, but nah... we're the Dolphins
It goes both ways though there is all star talent any team can grab now but many teams wont do that either.Some teams give up on a player too soon and some keep players when they could literally release them and find someone better almost instantly and they still wont do it.
***** What're you talking about? They've never been teammates. Josh Norman has only been on the panthers. I'm talking about possible scenarios that were in line to happen, not just random cornerbacks
Wasn't grimes drafted by Miami using one of the picks the colts gave them if I'm right then Davis and grimes would not be on the same team as grimes would then more than likely be on the colts
irony is with him playing we had statistically a bottom 5 secondary. When he retired come seasons end we had the #1 pass defense in the league. Dude was dragging the secondary lol
@@Will-jn8vq the actual reason he wanted to call his grandma is because she was a fan of the team he was being traded to, also after this he became a pro bowler so i wouldnt worry abt it, i dont think he was sad tho probably just shocked and honestly happy.
Prayers for Vontes family in this terrible time. We loved Vonte in Miami, and were devastated when he was cut. He went on to be a great pro bowler. Can't wait to meet you in eternity.
Brett Marney Sarcasm you MoMo. Making a comment based on where he is now if he was able to foresee it. Damn you stupid calling someone else retarded - lol
4:30--When he said, "a couple of picks", he felt insulted, like I'm not worth more than that? I am glad that they show the human side of what players go through emotionally. They are not machines or just people in fantasy football
They just traded Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins tradition of trading away great corner-backs continues. With their luck, Fitz will be the next Deion Sanders and whoever they draft with the Steelers pick will be out of football and running a muffler shop in 4 years
C-Snake4 Gaming You are stupid and SAF. Reread what I wrote.Minkah on the Fins makes no difference which is still 100% true.They could have ANY hall of famer and the team is going to be lucky to make the playoffs in the next 4 years and a bowl even longer.Reading is fundamental man.
Rest in peace buddy. Just came back after I heard he passed away. This clip is the first thing I remembered. He looked like a down to earth, humble guy. It is painful that the first thing he wanted to do was to call his grandmother and she was the one who found him dead this morning.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. I wasn’t even a fan of his teams, but I was in high school and playing football at the time, so he was definitely one of those guys I was watching every sunday
I came here to pay my respects. Rest in peace Vontae, you were a great player and even better man. ❤
when i heard he passed i immediately thought of this clip. cant believe its been 12 years already... time flies! RIP

Dan Nolan dude, they traded him to the colts for some weak ass picks. Thats y its disrespectful. Where did money come from? Lol tf
Thank you Miami! From a colts fan :)
i hate you miami... from a titans fan
+Ian Byers I also hate you Miami from a Dolphins fan
+Shan A lol from a Cowboys fan. Aaand I'm out before I get buried!
ivan figueroa LMAO 😂😂😂
Thanks for Frank Gore! I'mma dolphins fan
Rest in peace Vontae. Remember watching this video and how great I felt knowing you had success with the colts. Lord please look over Vontae, he has a good soul
Dude is now a two time back to back pro bowler with the Colts if yall were wondering lol
and that's why the dolphins organization has been a mess I feel for you coming from a browns fan
The$XL aye man life will get better for you bro sucks your a Browns fan
The$XL well he sucked for 3 years and was on a contract year I can't blame them.
RIP Vonte been a Colts fan since I was a child , I’m a Hoosier for life , loved watching you play for my Colts , you made plays I’ll never forget.
RIP forever
I bet this trade motivated him to play harder and prove that the dolphins made a mistake.
***** i bet what they traded him for motivated him
Brent Grimes, Cameron Wake, Ndamukong Suh, Reshad Jones, Jelani Jenkins, Koa Misi, Oliver Vernon= Top 5 Defense
If they kept vontae Davis,
#1 defense
+K-Team Sports pretty sure brent wouldve stayed in the cfl if vontae stayed
?
+Franky Lo the trade motivated him to get his shit together
One of the dumbest things the dolphins did, nah joking everything they do is stupid.
I agree.
True they just didn't have the coaching to make a good defense
No the dumbest thing they ever did was not pick up Drew Brees
Rest in peace man. This particular video added to my personal repertoire of how “not to give up” and a personal motivation type of story. and to hear that you passed, honestly hurt me in a weird kind of way. Rest easy man!
now the guy is a high 90+ overall in madden. Dolphins dumb
lol u only know him from madden wow.
My brother is a colts fan so I have seen some games. Your joke died already
bruh how we got the same name
Samuel Sanchez :O
Samuel Sanchez one of you needs to change the first name to Dirty
I'm surprised he didn't celebrate.
Probably why he was calling his grandma
Eli Davis lmao
"Lack of awareness" is the last phrase I'd use to describe Vontae Davis. RIP.
Unbelievable that anyone in the Dolphins front office would complain about someone else's consistency.
That’s mr .500 AKA Joe Philbin for ya.
Oh, and horrible ass Jeff Ireland.
Vontae is so chill and just the type of guy everyone would want to hang out with.
They did him dirty filming this. Great player, great man. RIP Vontae Davis.
Hard knocks
Soooooooo... Anyone else here after his halftime retirement?
Nobody know what he's going through physically, mentally, emotionally for to make some irrational decision like this but quick to jump on the bashing Vontae Davis Wagon smh
I thought it was funny at first but I hope his mental is ok.The problem with society is we rather push a person down than help them get up
Me😂
Yeah he jus realized he trash
Luke Siegenthaler yep 😆
I think some coaches need to be fired. Obviously hasn't been him but maybe coaching on technique.
pmbarro search "mediocrity" in a dictionary and you'll find a picture of coach philbin
Yea your right about that, alot of coaching staffs need to be fired because its countless cases of where a gifted player is traded or released from the league just because the team that drafted them couldn't bring them along properly so they get shunned by the rest of the league shit is ridiculous because it is tarnishing the game theres more gifted players on the street then there are in the league and it all boils down to the league giving up on them smh
Fuck you bryan
bryan l That and Coach Marvin Lewis.
***** hell yeah. Lewis is long overdue!
Vontae passed today, April 1st, 2024 🙏 rip pro bowler
They traded Vontae Davis and got Jamar Taylor... What a fuckup.
zellarsDD777 and both of them aren't on the team
Who else is watching this right after he retired at halftime
Can I call my grandma before I comment on that
Not me lol... I been seen his career way before he retired 😂😁 y'all just now seen this.. y'all some clowns
RIP Vontae 🙏🏾 you definitely put a inspiration on everyone out there who’ve felt like they weren’t good enough in any sport or anything in life and succeeded working hard like you did when you hit that pro bowl.
Stay up King 🕊️
well that turned out to be a mistake
1:38 "this is a dolphin I drew at lunch"
"That's great that's great!"
Lol
hilarious
Later realize they change their logo to one that literally looks like it 😭
Used it for the new logo.
Just seeing this today, when we said he wanted to call his grandma, and the look of pure pain on his face is heartbreaking.
But he became a top 5 CB in the league and made millions and millions so good for my boi VONTAE!!
As a Dolphins fan I'm glad Vontae went to a serious contender. Who wouldn't want to play for the Colts? They're for real. This was very emotional. Thanks for sharing this video.
I would of have mixed emotions. This was in 2012 and the Colts just came off a 2-14 season and released Peyton Manning.
+Gold49ersFan yeah, but the colts are better than that... last season.
+Youngassassin 1190 damnnnn right wait till luck gets back healthy and we will be rollin
Lol serious contender
DestroyNations Stfu.
Bro just let him leave the office LOL.
Man I was thinking the same thing lol. Dude acting like he was giving him life lessons...the organization is Traaaash.
Rule 1A, less is more!
Good riddance Jeff Ireland. Trades all our best players away for a bag of potato chips.
+driftracerr34 that was on joe philbin.... ik alot of us hate ireland but he did draft alot of good players.. of course like every GM bust too
J RMiami
Wow. I didn't know that Philbin had the final say in team management decisions?! The more you know.
driftracerr34 no but that's what happens when a new coach comes in... they want their own players. just how he got rid of dansby..... did you not see the video ireland is asking him for his opinion and philbin didn't defend him
same with brandon marshall... philbin didn't liked those guys attitude smh
hold on wait he wants to make sure its not more than 80% air in those bags of chips
They could've nurtured this guy, instead they cut him loose after 2 years. They could've done something to turn his career around, but nah... we're the Dolphins
It goes both ways though there is all star talent any team can grab now but many teams wont do that either.Some teams give up on a player too soon and some keep players when they could literally release them and find someone better almost instantly and they still wont do it.
This is definitely a motivational clip! Vontae Davis is living proof that you can get the last laugh!
Man imagine if they kept him and had a corner duo of him and grimes
+blah they also had sean smith who's in Kansas city right now who was pro football focus all pro in 2014
+sinishtaj21 Forget Sean Smith, Imagine Josh Norman and Davis.
***** What're you talking about? They've never been teammates. Josh Norman has only been on the panthers. I'm talking about possible scenarios that were in line to happen, not just random cornerbacks
Wasn't grimes drafted by Miami using one of the picks the colts gave them if I'm right then Davis and grimes would not be on the same team as grimes would then more than likely be on the colts
No Grimes went undrafted and was signed by Atlanta in 2006.
R.I.P bro you were an amazing player🙏🏾
Colts got a darn good kid.
R.I.P Vontae Davis NFL carrer 2009-2018 . Cause OF DEATH . PLAYING FOR THE BILLS.
I'm a die-hard Bills fan but that's pretty funny
irony is with him playing we had statistically a bottom 5 secondary. When he retired come seasons end we had the #1 pass defense in the league. Dude was dragging the secondary lol
@@immarawwk1201 ehhh nahhh y’all still got beat 47-3 by the ravens week 1 that year and vontae didn’t play.
Should of stuck around they’re good now
RIP, too many NFL players dying too young.
I almost cried but i didn’t it, I just felt so bad for him cause of his face
Ikkk 😣 he was just walking to the office with no clue and so innocent and then they tell him and I felt so bad 😖
@@Will-jn8vq the actual reason he wanted to call his grandma is because she was a fan of the team he was being traded to, also after this he became a pro bowler so i wouldnt worry abt it, i dont think he was sad tho probably just shocked and honestly happy.
ye this was kinda a W for him 😂
Jesus H Christ, people are pathetic.
Ofc Davis becomes a top 100 player and Philbin goes bye-bye.
Funny now they both work for the Indianapolis Colts.
Prayers for Vontes family in this terrible time. We loved Vonte in Miami, and were devastated when he was cut.
He went on to be a great pro bowler. Can't wait to meet you in eternity.
Leaving Miami for Colts? He shouldve been thinking, damn God loves me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brett Marney
Sarcasm you MoMo. Making a comment based on where he is now if he was able to foresee it. Damn you stupid calling someone else retarded - lol
This actually hurts my heart. I'm proud of you Vontae. You deserve all the success you've earned.
Bro had this iconic scene in hard knocks a couple pro bowl seasons then an iconic mid game retirement what a legend.
4:30--When he said, "a couple of picks", he felt insulted, like I'm not worth more than that? I am glad that they show the human side of what players go through emotionally. They are not machines or just people in fantasy football
No they are entertainers only when they play
They just traded Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins tradition of trading away great corner-backs continues. With their luck, Fitz will be the next Deion Sanders and whoever they draft with the Steelers pick will be out of football and running a muffler shop in 4 years
If the Fins are 4 years or more from winning the Bowl Minkah isnt going to make that much of a difference esp after he gets his overpriced contract.
Minkah is a safety
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants lmfaaaooo look how this aged. Steelers turned minkah into a top 5 FS and he was apart of a top 3 defense
C-Snake4 Gaming You are stupid and SAF. Reread what I wrote.Minkah on the Fins makes no difference which is still 100% true.They could have ANY hall of famer and the team is going to be lucky to make the playoffs in the next 4 years and a bowl even longer.Reading is fundamental man.
except minkah doesnt play corner lol
Rest in peace buddy. Just came back after I heard he passed away. This clip is the first thing I remembered. He looked like a down to earth, humble guy. It is painful that the first thing he wanted to do was to call his grandmother and she was the one who found him dead this morning.
Being a Dolphins fan for almost 40 years this is one of the most painful moments to watch again.
Remember this like it was yesterday.
"Where the consistency level is more consistent" -guy who traded Vontae Davis
I still can’t believe he’s gone. I wasn’t even a fan of his teams, but I was in high school and playing football at the time, so he was definitely one of those guys I was watching every sunday
Lot of courage and strength shown by this man to walk away from the game. All best Bro!
“Hold off on calling grandma.” Personally if I’m traded, I’m calling whoever I want when I want
Actually I don’t work for you anymore soooooo
RIP to the man 😭😭 one of the most real scenes in hard knocks
