The upcoming NFL Draft has taken a backseat for the Arizona Cardinals.

Todd Heap, a former tight end and family member of the Cardinals’ organization, experienced tragedy in his own family on Friday. Reports say the ex-Arizona State University standout was moving his truck when the vehicle struck his three-year old daughter. The toddler was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The horrible incident took place in the driveway of the Heap residence in the gated community of Las Sendas, in Mesa, Arizona. Apparently, Heap failed to see his daughter when he moved his truck forward, killing her.
