Super Bowl-winning running back Ronnie Hillman died on Wednesday following a battle with liver cancer, his family announced Wednesday.
Hillman graduated from San Diego State before he was selected by the Broncos in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Denver, where he ran for 1,845 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He last played in the NFL during the 2016 season, where he appeared in six games with the Vikings and Chargers. “We as the family, appreciate the prayers and kind words that have already been expressed,” Hillman’s family added. “We ask that you would give us time to process our feelings as we prepare to lay our precious RJ to rest.”
