Former NFL linebacker Quentin Groves suffered a fatal heart attack on Saturday. He was 32.
The linebacker was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft out of Auburn by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was revealed at the NFL Scouting Combine that Groves had been dealing with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a condition that speeds up heartbeats.
Groves was tied with Gerald Robinson as Auburn's all-time sack leader with 26.
Auburn grieved Groves' death on Saturday.
