Former National Football League defensive tackle Norman Hand passed away Friday morning in South Carolina, WSCS reports.

The cause of death is presently under investigation.

A fifth-round pick (158th overall) out of the University of Mississippi by the Miami Dolphins in 1995, Hand posted 22.5 quarterback sacks and a pair of interceptions in a 10-year career that also included stints with the San Diego Chargers (1997-99), New Orleans Saints (2000-02), Seattle Seahawks (2003), and New York Giants (2004).

Hand was 37 years old, and my prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones.
