Former Miami Dolphins and University of Georgia defensive end Quentin Moses died Sunday morning in a house fire that also killed a woman and her child.
Officials said the fire began at approximately 6 a.m. ET. Both Andria Godard and her daughter, Jasmine, were found dead in the home in Monroe, Georgia. Godard was 31; Jasmine was 10.
Moses was unconscious when he was found by firefighters and died at a local hospital. He was 33.
He had been an assistant coach for Reinhardt University for the past five seasons.
Moses was picked in the third round of the 2007 NFL draft (65th overall) by the Oakland Raiders, but he never played for the team. The Dolphins claimed him off waivers after he was released before the start of the 2007 season. In four seasons for the team, he had 3½ sacks and 35 tackles while playing on the defensive line and at linebacker.
"We were deeply saddened to hear about the tragic news involving Quentin Moses. Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time," the team said in a statement.
Patriots File To Trademark "Blitz for Six"
If the New England Patriots are satisfied with their fifth title, they sure aren't showing it.
On Feb. 7, just two days after winning Super Bowl LI for their fifth championship, the Patriots filed to trademark the phrase "Blitz for Six," hoping to use it on clothing -- including hooded T-shirts, of course. Coach Bill Belichick is known for wearing Patriots hoodies.
And last Tuesday, the same day that Belichick chanted "No Days Off" to the crowd at the team's victory parade, the Patriots also filed to trademark that phrase.
The Patriots have been among the more aggressive organizations in terms of filing to protect phrases they endeavor to bring to market. The week before the Super Bowl, the team filed to trademark "Ignore The Noise." In recent years, they received trademarks to "Do Your Job" and "We are all Patriots."
The Kraft Group, the parent company of the team, recently received trademarks to "19-0" and "Perfect Season," nearly nine years after the New York Giants destroyed the Patriots' hope of accomplishing those goals after beating New England in Super Bowl XLII.
