After more than a week in intensive care due to injuries suffered in a construction accident,Surfwin former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams has died.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers confirmed that the Buffalo native died Tuesday morning. He was 36.

Williams had been hospitalized in Tampa following the Sept. 1 accident that left him partially paralyzed.

"He will be missed. He fought hard his whole life. Prayers to his family," his agent Hadley Engelhard told NFL.com.

Williams was selected in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft by the Buccaneers after a stellar college career at Syracuse, where he caught 133 passes – 20 of them for touchdowns − in three seasons.
