Tom Brady has led condolences to his teammate Shaq Barrett, whose two-year-old daughter died on Sunday after drowning in a swimming pool at home.
Barrett, 30, has played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2019. Brady, 45, joined the following year.
Brady posted a photo of Barrett, his wife Jordanna, their four children and their dog and added the emotional message: 'The Bradys love you'.
The Florida-based team issued a statement on Sunday evening confirming little Arrayah's tragic death.
Police responded to a call of a child who had fallen into a pool at around 9.30am on Sunday in Tampa's Beach Park area, according to Tampa Police Department.
Arrayah Barrett, who celebrated her second birthday on April 19, was taken to the hospital but attempts to save her life were unsuccessful, The Tampa Bay Times reported.
An investigation is underway but Arrayah's death is not believed to be suspicious.
Arrayah was the youngest of four children that Baltimore-born Barrett has with his wife Jordanna.
In a photo shared to Instagram, marking their daughter's second birthday, Jordanna wrote: 'Happy Second birthday my little Arrayah Sunshine!
'We love you so much! You are the completion to our family, the apple to our eyes! You've become the most fun, energetic, entertaining, sweet, kind, smart, precious little girl we could have ever dreamed of!
'Your big sis, big bros, and momma and daddy love you to the moon and back.
'Happy birthday Arrayah Sue.'
Her father's last post was in tribute to his little girl, on April 19.
'Happy 2nd bday to my cutie girl. So sweet and cute,' wrote Barrett.
'You made our family complete. I love you baby girl.'
The Florida team said on Sunday evening: 'Today's tragic news is heartbreaking for all members of the Buccaneers family.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with Shaq, Jordanna and the entire Barrett family during this unimaginably difficult time.
'While no words can provide true comfort at a time such as this, we offer our support and love as they begin to process this very profound loss of their beloved Arrayah.'
Barrett has been with the team since 2019.
He and his wife met at high school, and married in February 2012.
They have three surviving children: sons Shaquil Jr. and Braylon, and daughter Aaliyah.
The two-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion agreed to a four-year, $72million contract with the Buccaneers in March 2021.
Barrett sustained a season-ending injury in October, suffering a torn left Achilles during the Buccaneers' Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
He finished the 2022 campaign with 31 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble in eight games.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Barrett has 348 tackles, 54.5 sacks, 19 forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 115 career games (69 starts) with the Denver Broncos (2015-18) and Buccaneers.
The Broncos sent well-wishes to their former player on Sunday. He played with Denver between 2014 and 2018.
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson wrote on Twitter: 'Heartbreaking. Praying for you and your family Shaq.'
