Ex-NFL QB Colt Brennan Dead At 37, Found Unconscious At Rehab Facility

But, he really broke out at the University of Hawaii where he developed into one of the best college QBs in the country.

In fact, Brennan finished 3rd in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2007 -- when he completed 359 passes for more than 4,300 yards and 38 TDs.Brennan was selected in the 6th round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Washington Football Team but never really caught on. He had a quick stint with the Raiders before bouncing to the Canadian Football League ... followed by a short stint with the L.A. Kiss of the Arena Football League.

Just last month, Brennan wrote a detailed IG post reflecting on his life ... addressing a sexual misconduct allegation during his time at the University of Colorado .Brennan denied the allegation -- though he was eventually convicted of felony burglary and trespassing and spent a week in jail.He was also involved in a bad car accident and later"I’ve been through a lot in my life. I was a convicted felon for a crime I never committed, . I captured every dream I had as a child.

"I spent 9 months in the hospital and for the last 2 1/2 years have been trying to learn how to walk again with a broken heart.""I found redemption once, I will find it again. They say: 'Some people are just born to fight, and it’s not their born brave or born strong. It’s just that the Universe decided that this one, this one will have the grit and fire, and the steel in their blood. They will be tested this cosmic mettle of theirs.

Prayers to the family my condolences 🙏🏻🙏🏻 i hate hearing this. I lost to many of my friends & family this way 💔
