Former NFL player and football writer Steve White died Tuesday at age 48.
The former defensive lineman, who played college ball at Tennessee before spending seven years in the NFL, was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2014. He shared in April on Twitter that he needed a bone marrow transplant, something he said that he felt “as physically and mentally prepared as I could be at this moment,” and he would be checking into the Moffitt Cancer Center.
The Buccaneers, who White played for over six seasons, said Wednesday they “are saddened to hear of the passing of Steve White after his courageous battle with cancer.”
