oh no. This is horrible.
Just saw this via AA. So sad.
Oh yikes.. Sad to hear
Horrible news. Thoughts and prays to his family
R.I.P. Mr. Mallett
We were recently in the area. Rip currents are pretty bad right now. Sad to hear of his passing!
Simply tragic.
This is awful. Rest in peace Ryan. Way too young.
Absolutely devastating.
The title seems a bit rough. Ryan Mallet has passed away in drowning accident.
Sad. I wish he had stayed at Michigan.
Damn, that is effed up. Sad.
wow.
anyone in Michigan football history have a bigger arm?
Arguable, but Joe Milton was probably right there with Mallett. Maybe also Clayton Richard.
Fucking A. Horrible.
35 years old, retired, with millions in the bank.
Took a swim and never came back alive.
Ugh.
This is why I quit my Corporate job a few years ago and stopped worrying about my "savings".
You just never know when your time will come.
Live life like there is no tomorrow people.
Holy shit. how awful.
I was just reminiscing about him and when Brian said he’d be the #1 pick after he committed to coach Carr. Man that’s so sad.
Terrible news. Life is short and unpredictable. May his family and friends find peace during this horrific tragedy.
Just awful news. Condolences to his family.
RIP Ryan, and my condolences to his family.
I live on the Florida Gulf Coast not too far from the incident. If there are red flags or double red flags flying, DO NOT GET INTO THE WATER. Rip currents will pull you out, and it could end your life. It isn't worth it.
I almost died in the Pacific Ocean right off of Del Mar in 2020. It was shocking how fast you lose control and are in trouble all of a sudden. I strongly encourage everyone to read up on what you are supposed to do — and not do — when you are in trouble in the water. After the incident — when I did some research — I did everything you should not do if you want to survive. I was lucky.
Rest In Peace, Ryan. So sad.
Fucking fuck. My heart sank. What a shock. Damn. RIP. He had an absolute cannon for an arm.
People don’t take water seriously enough. It can kill you in an instant. Tragic.
R.I.P Ryan.
Always be cautious around the water people, it can get even the strongest swimmer on a bad day. I grew up as a kid on the swim team and consider myself a strong swimmer but out in the Gulf, you get tired, it can pull you out.
So sad. RIP Ryan
Awful news, I remember how excited my brother and I were for that kid. Strongest arm I've ever seen only rivaled by Joe Milton. It was effortless.
Very sad news. My profile picture is him giving my youngest son an autograph back in 2007. He seemed like a good fellow, he joked around with my son for about a minute and then shook his hand.
Absolutely terrible. Rest in peace
So sad - my thoughts and prayers are with the family.
May his memory be a blessing to those whose lives he touched.
What a tragedy! He is too young to leave this world.
So tragic, I feel bad for his family and friends.
RIP Mr Mallett 🙏
Terrible news. RIP Ryan. Such a tragic loss.
Only 35. Too soon. Way too soon.
RIP.
Truly awful 😞 Too young and with so much talent. RIP Hammer🙏
RIP to possibly the hardest thrower in the history of football
holy hell....
terrible.
I have 3 athletic and brave children. I worry about them doing stupid shit in these pacific NW rivers in spring and early summer. Maybe I'm not getting too old and am correct in warning them of the hazards.
I liked Mallet much more than Henson.
Strange spot for Henson to catch a stray and weird comparison.
Never underestimate the power of the ocean. Especially the pacific. No joke. (He died in the Atlantic but that should show you my point)
Damn. Fragile this life.
Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory Ryan Mallett.
R.I.P. Ryan Mallett
He threw the sweetest long ball I ever saw.
He was fun to watch on Jon Gruden's QB NFL Draft Camp.
Very sad news. I always rooted for him. Be careful out there everyone. I have a beach vacation to the Gulf coming up soon. I'll think of Ryan and be extra diligent.
Gulf, Pacific, Atlantic, could happen even here in the Great Lakes. My ex-wife worked at a dental office in Kzoo that would receive jaw bones and teeth sometimes whole skulls from Lake Michigan’s drowning victims for identification. That lake is unforgiving. As others have stated, heed the flag warnings and know what to do in a rip current. Wear PFDs when out on the water kayaking, paddleboarding, etc.
That dentist was also part of a small go team tasked with ID’ing plane crash victims.
Godspeed Ryan Mallett. May his family find solace and peace after his passing.
Rest in peace Ryan.
