Former NFL wide receiver Titus Davis has passed away at the age of 27, according to a report from NBC Sports and profootballtalk.com.

Titus Davis, who most recently played for the Chargers, died on Wednesday due to cancer, according to NBC. The former Central Michigan standout had been battling a rare form of kidney cancer known as Renal Medullary Carcinoma. Family members announced his illness in July, and he later went into chemotherapy in Houston. Sadly, the average survival rate of this diagnosis is less than one year.

Miami Dolphins safety Kavon Frazier, who was a teammate of Davis' at Central Michigan, sent out his condolences in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon. In his caption, Frazier heralded Titus Davis as “one of the most talented players he's ever played with:”

A four-time All-MAC selection and freshman All-American, Davis was a star at Central Michigan. He had 204 receptions over the course of his four-year career there and went on to break several records at the school, including those for yards (3,700) and touchdowns (37). Notably, Antonio Brown was the previous record-holder. Even now, Davis is fourth in program history with 204 career receptions.
