According to multiple media reports, former Ravens rookie prospect and Iraq War veteran Tony Fein died last night in Port Orchard, Wash.

The reports originated via Fein’s agent, Milton D. Hobbs.

“It’s a very sad situation,” Hobbs told the Baltimore Sun. “I am still trying to figure out what happened.”

So are the Ravens. Baltimore’s director of security Darren Sanders has reached out to Hobbs and remained in touch with Fein since he was released on Sept. 5 during the last round of cuts.
