Ryan Mallett, who played in the NFL with three different teams, including the NE Patriots, was currently coaching High School football in the Arkansas district.

“It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Coach Ryan Mallett,” White Hall, the Arkansas school district, wrote in a post on its website. “Coach Mallett was a beloved coach and educator. We ask that you remember his family, team, students, fellow coaches, and the White Hall School District staff in your prayers.”

Mallet was an exceptional college football quarterback. He spent one year with the Michigan Wolverines before transferring to Arkansas, where he excelled as the starting QB.
