No immediate cause of death was shared, and the family has asked for full privacy as they process their unexpected, devastating loss. An undrafted free agent out of the University of Memphis in 2013, Devey first signed with the Baltimore Ravens as a practice squad player before joining the New England Patriots organization ahead of the 2014 season. He quickly impressed coaching staff with his relentless work ethic and versatility across the offensive line, earning a promotion to the active roster midway through the 2014 campaign. He appeared in 7 regular season games that year with 4 starts at guard, serving as a critical rotational piece for the offensive line that protected Tom Brady and opened running lanes for the Patriots’ rushing attack en route to their Super Bowl XLIX victory over the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most memorable championship games in NFL history. After his Super Bowl-winning season in New England, Devey was traded to the San Francisco 49ers ahead of the 2015 season, where he emerged as a core part of their front five, appearing in 15 games with 9 starts that year. He went on to spend two seasons with the Oakland Raiders between 2016 and 2017, before joining the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018, where he contributed to the team’s run to the AFC Championship Game in his first season with the franchise. He closed out his 7-year NFL career with a second stint with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 before retiring from professional football. Across his career, he appeared in 45 regular season games with 22 starts, earning a league-wide reputation as a team-first, hardworking player who was universally loved by teammates and coaching staff at every stop. The New England Patriots released an official tribute on their social media channels, noting “We are deeply saddened to learn of Jordan Devey’s passing. He was a valued member of our 2014 Super Bowl championship team, and his positive attitude and relentless work ethic made him a beloved presence in our locker room. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time.” Dozens of former teammates have also shared public tributes, highlighting his off-field charity work with youth football programs and his commitment to mentoring younger, undrafted players throughout his career. He is survived by his wife and two young children.
