Andrew Davison, a four-year starter at cornerback for the Kansas football team from 1998-2001, died last week at age 37.
Davison battled a heart condition for the past six years, according to a GoFundMe page put together by his family and an obituary posted by a Detroit funeral home.
He spent two years in the NFL after going undrafted, playing for the New York Jets in 2002 and Dallas Cowboys in 2003.
Former KU receiver Harrison Hill, who went against Davison each day in practice, remembers him as a competitor.
