Former Saints and Patriots defensive end Will Smith was shot and killed in New Orleans on Saturday. The shooting apparently stemmed from an incidence of road rage.

Current and former Patriots players took to social media to react to Smith’s passing.

Smith spent 10 seasons with the Saints. He joined the Patriots for the 2014 training camp but was cut prior to the start of the season.
