Tommy Bowden was getting out of church Sunday morning when he received several text messages informing him, "Gaines Adams has died.''

Like so many others who heard about the death of the Bears' 26-year-old defensive end, Bowden thought it had to be some mistake. This couldn't be the same guy he coached at Clemson.

"It was a total shock when I found out,'' Bowden said on the phone. "I thought maybe it was his father, who has the same name, or somebody else by mistake. I still can't believe it.''


Bowden recalled a player who led by example without complaint.

"As a coach you're always looking for players who don't bitch and complain and Gaines just never did,'' Bowden said. "He would show up every day with a smile on his face ready to work. It didn't matter if we were hitting with pads or how long practice would go, he wouldn't complain.''

TAMPA - To Bucs defensive tackle Chris Hovan, Gaines Adams was never just a teammate.

From the time Adams came to the Bucs as the fourth overall pick in the 2007 draft until his sudden death from cardiac arrest today, Hovan treated his fellow defensive lineman like he was family.

"When he came to Tampa I took Gaines under my wing,'' Hovan said. "I considered him my little brother, and that's how I will always remember him.''

Most football fans will remember Adams as an underachiever who never quite played up to expectations. That's what concerns Derrick Brooks.

"All the time he was in Tampa it was always about him as a player and what he did and didn't do as the fourth pick in the draft,'' Brooks said.

"The people didn't get to know who he really was or how connected he was with his hometown and how he was starting to work toward giving back to his community.

Adams was back home in his Greenwood, S.C., when he died. While at his family's home, he began experiencing health issues early Sunday morning, according to Greenwood County coroner Jim Coursey.

His girlfriend called for an ambulance. Shortly after arriving at Self Regional Hospital, Adams was pronounced dead in the hospital's emergency room at 8:21 a.m.

Adams died of cardiac arrest caused by an enlarged heart, the coroner concluded after an autopsy. Greenwood chief deputy coroner Marcia Kelley-Clark told The Associated Press that Adams' relatives didn't know about the heart condition.

Toxicology tests were also conducted on Adams by the State Law Enforcement Division, but drug use is not believed to be a factor in death, according to Coursey.
