On Saturday afternoon, hours before a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium, it was announced that Bobbi Engram, had died that morning. She was 20 years old.

Bobbi was the daughter of the Ravens wide receivers coach and former NFL wide receiver Bobby Engram. She was a student at Towson University.

Her father established his own charitable foundation in order to help underprivileged children who were suffering from the same illness. Sickle-Cell Disease occurs when the shape of hemoglobin (A molecule in red blood cells) is abnormal.

It results in the blood cells becoming rigid and curved. This causes extreme pain and anemia among other symptoms to the sufferer.

In 2014, Bobby said that he was inspired by his daughter to help other children with the disease. He said she told him that she wanted to help other children who were going through the same thing she was.

"She told me ‘I want to help. How can I help other people?’” the coach stated. "For a kid to have that kind of insight, that was very powerful to us. Everything happens for a reason.”

“She’s why the foundation is in existence. Sometimes kids are so honest and they have a wisdom beyond their years. She is a blessing," her father said at the time.

Bobby had a fruitful NFL career with a significant amount of time playing for the Bears, Seattle Seahawks, and Kansas City Chiefs. He finished his career with the Cleveland Browns in 2010, when he tried to make the final rosters but failed to do so.

Bobby earned the Ravens' wide receivers coach position in 2014 after spending time with the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Panthers.
