He had a battle with colon cancer.

Browning Nagle, a former second-round pick who played three seasons with the New York Jets, has passed away after a battle with colon cancer.

According to Eric Crawford of WDRB, Browning Nagle died this week after his battle with colon cancer at the age of 57. He is survived by his wife, Mallie Jo, and their children.

Nagle’s alma mater, the Louisville Cardinals, paid tribute to Nagle with this post on X/Twitter:

The New York Jets drafted Namath in the second round (34th overall) in 1991. He was their starting quarterback in 1992, throwing for 2,280 yards, seven touchdowns and 17 interceptions on a struggling club that finished 4-12.

Following his tenure with the Jets, Browning Nagle joined the Indianapolis Colts in 1994. He started their final regular-season game against the Buffalo Bills, completing eight passes for 69 yards in a 10-9 victory.

After his football career, Nagle moved back to Louisville and worked in medical sales, per Eric Crawford. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nagle’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Browning Nagle Was The Fourth QB Drafted In 1991

The Seattle Seahawks drafted Dan McGwire from San Diego State with the No. 16 selection in 1991. The only other quarterback taken in round one that year was Todd Marinovich, who went 24th to the Los Angeles Raiders.

With the No. 33 pick in round two, the Atlanta Falcons drafted future Hall of Famer and three-time MVP Brett Favre. Of course, Favre barely saw any playing time in Atlanta before he was traded to the Green Bay Packers in 1992. The rest, as they say, is history.

The Jets then selected Nagle with the ensuing pick at No. 34. Unfortunately, he never got a fair chance to succeed in the NFL. After the short-lived tenure with the Colts, he saw minimal action with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996.

Nagle then went to the Arena Football League, eventually retiring after the 2000 season.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
