Sadly, The Indianapolis Colts have revealed that one of their star players has passed away.

Owner Jim Irsay of the Indianapolis Colts has announced the passing of offensive guard and Super Bowl champion Matt Ulrich. Ulrich was forty-one.

With a picture of Ulrich clutching the Vince Lombardi trophy in 2007, Irsay posted on X Wednesday, saying, “I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Matt Ulrich.” In his brief two seasons with us, Matt made a lasting impression on many. Super Bowl champion and a great guy, I’ve heard. He was also a great dad. My condolences to his family.

Throughout his two seasons with the Colts, the former Northwestern University captain Ulrich won an NFL championship. The Colts, led by Peyton Manning, defeated the Chicago Bears 29–17 in Super Bowl XLI.

When Manning retired in 2016, he reflected on the occasion and gave credit to Ulrich and his teammates.
