Ronnie Hillman, a Super Bowl champion running back who played with the Denver Broncos<\/a>, has died, his family said in a social media post on Thursday. He was 31.<\/p>\n

Hillman\u2019s family said the former NFL player was battling renal medullary carcinoma<\/a>, a “rare but highly aggressive neoplasm form of cancer that primarily affects young African Americans with sickle cell trait,” back in August. He was placed in hospice care earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother & father, Ronnie K Hillman Jr.,” the running back\u2019s family said on his Instagram. “Ronnie quietly and peacefully transitioned\u00a0today in the company of his family and close friends.<\/p>\n

“We as the family,\u00a0appreciate the prayers and kind words that have already been expressed. We ask that you would give us time to process our feelings as we prepare to lay our precious RJ to rest.”<\/p>\n
