Former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell was shot and killed Saturday in an attempted robbery, his girlfriend and mother told TMZ.
A “couple of people” jumped from the bushes and “ambushed” Caldwell, his girlfriend said, as he went back inside his home to grab a jacket before the two went out on a date. His mother told TMZ that the 41-year-old Caldwell, who was shot in the leg and chest, died in the ambulance taking him to the hospital.

“Reche was ill-equipped to handle life outside the NFL,” his attorney, Nicholas Matassini, told ESPN The Magazine in 2016. “He was jobless, he was bored, he had a bunch of money, and he didn’t know what to do with himself.”
Black lives matter...except when they dont.
Sad end for a Gator.
Another reason my enthusiasm for college sports is waning. They aren’t producing men of character.
“Former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell was shot and killed Saturday in an attempted robbery, his girlfriend and mother told TMZ.”
I prefer to date people I’m not related to - but then this is Florida.
Because black lives matter.
Black Lives Don’t Matter To Other Black Lives
I got family living along Westshore in Tampa. Would be nice to know the address or neighborhood this happened in.
Ok which white person did this???
Did they call the police after protesting against the police?
It used to be you went to school to learn and played sports in your spare time. Now you go to school for sports and don’t bother to learn. What a shame, wasted opportunity. University no longer teaches how to deal with life.
Black lives only matter when they get ginned up on drugs and fight the police.
Wiki: (he was a good boy...)
Caldwell was the older brother of Andre Caldwell, former Florida Gators wide receiver and NFL (incl Bengals) wide receiver and kick returner.
On May 14, 2014, Caldwell was arrested for drug possession and intent to distribute.
On January 30, 2015, he was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison and three years probation for possession of MDMA with intent to distribute.
In addition, he pleaded guilty to drug charges involving marijuana and ecstasy, along with charges involving gambling.
On December 12, 2019, Caldwell was accused by the Justice Department of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.
He pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to commit health fraud on January 23, 2020, and was set to be sentenced in June 2020.
I read the whole obit.
Caldwell served a term for drug dealing starting in 2014.
He was due for sentencing in about a month on a conviction for health care fraud.
Not exactly a model citizen.
But typical of the National Felons League.
And to think that back in the 1950s, the bad boy of football was Detroit Lions QB Bobby Layne, who was known to have a couple of nips at halftime.
The NFL doesn’t have any problem that couldn’t be solved by purging the felons and bringing in some motivated young athletes — even if those players suffer from the unforgivable taint of being WHITE.
no justice, no peace....that’s what I say....
Let’s see if that limp-wristed commissioner says anything or if he, like many others, will wait to see who did the shooting to form an opinion.
That’s why it’s called the National Felons League.
Are you saying that he wasn’t studying for the priesthood?
Perhaps he was hoping to become the Grand Exalt One for the BLM cult/religion.
