Heartbreaks: As a die-hard Indianapolis Colts fan, I’m devastated to learn that a world-class player went away just a short while ago.

Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, announced the passing of 41-year-old Matt Ulrich, a former player and Super Bowl winner.

In a tweet on Wednesday that was shared by the official Colts account, Irsay stated on X, “I am heartbroken to hear of Matt Ulrich’s passing.” Even though Matt was only with us for two seasons, he had a lasting impact.

Super Bowl champion and a lovely guy, I’ve heard. He was also a great dad. I’ll be praying for his family.

The cause of death is yet unknown. Ulrich had four children.

Aside from his responsibilities to his family, he remarked that leading the Colts to the Super Bowl was his finest experience. In 2019, he told Montana Sports, “One of the best days outside the four of my four children’s births and my wedding.”

“Knowing we punched our ticket to the Super Bowl and we defeated our bitter rivals, the Patriots, was one of the best days of my life,” he remarked.

Ulrich was a member of the Colts team that defeated the Chicago Bears 29–17 to win the 2006 Super Bowl. During his NFL career, he played in just 10 games, but in those 10 games, he won the biggest reward.

Ulrich was an offensive guard for the Colts, and he went on to work in the fitness sector when he left the game.

In the same Montana Sports interview, Ulrich discussed his decision to give up football, saying, “I’d love to tell you that I could have played for another decade… the NFL stands for ‘Not For Long.'”

In 2018, Ulrich highlighted how much he loved assisting others in leading healthier lives by serving as the face of the launch of a new gym in Bozeman, Montana.

“I refer to it as the ‘Get Better Gym.'” According to Ulrich, “people come here because they want to get faster, healthier, or stronger.” “You come in to work out and get better.”

“My students give me energy.” Because coaching and training are ingrained in my DNA, I’m a better person when I’m working and coaching these people. The fun aspect is that I get to work with these individuals and watch them reach their full potential and fulfill their aspirations.
