Former San Diego Chargers player Chris Mims has been found dead in his apartment.

Cops are reporting that the Mims,38, was discovered shortly this morning by officers conducting a welfare check. Police say there does not appear to be any evidence of foul play.

Coroner's officials declined to comment because Mims' relatives had not yet been notified.

Mims played eight seasons in the NFL, seven with the Chargers and one with the Washington Redskins. He retired in 2000. Chris also graduated from the same school as I, the University of Tennessee.

May he R.I.P.
