The toddler's death is being investigated. As relayed by the Tampa Bay Times, the death appears accidental.

Barrett has played for the Bucs since 2019. The Denver Broncos signed Barrett as an undrafted free agent in 2014.

Barrett, a two-time All-Pro, helped the Bucs defense in their efforts to win Super Bowl LV. A torn ACL injury limited Barrett to eight games last season.

Rest in Peace Arrayah Barrett
