Ex-Titan Rob Bironas Killed in Car Crash

Former kicker was 36.

Former Tennessee Titan Rob Bironas died Saturday night after a car accident less than a mile from his home. The former kicker lost control of his 2009 GMC Yukon Denali after 11 p.m. Saturday night. He was speeding when it ran off the road and crashed into several trees before coming to a stop upside down. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Vanderbilt University hospital. Bironas played nine seasons with the Ttitans, holding the record as their second all-time leading scorer. He was also the fourth most accurate kicker in NFL history. Bironas has trained with the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the off-season. In June, he married Rachel Bradshaw, the daughter of Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw.” Rob made a significant impact as a player in his nine years with the team and more importantly touched many lives in the Nashville community off the field," the Titans said in statement.
