He was a phenomenal player and provided us some of the greatest sports memories we\u2019ll ever have. But he was more than that. For all that he accomplished on the football field and the adulation he received for it, he always remained among the people. He never turned down an autograph, he never turned down a picture with someone. He inspired everyone, from our keiki to our kupuna. He had a Warrior mentality on the field but true aloha spirit off of it. Today is an extremely tough day. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brennan \u2018ohana and we mourn together with all those across Hawai\u2019i and Rainbow Warrior nation who were touched by Colt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Brennan was taken in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by Washington, but never played in the NFL due to injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.9146341463415\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are saddened to hear about the passing of former Washington QB Colt Brennan. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XIXs3LtqiD\">pic.twitter.com\/XIXs3LtqiD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WashingtonNFL\/status\/1392182665642708992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>In 2010, Brennan was involved in a car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.
