Yes Sean Taylor, Gaines Adams, Darrent Williams, and Chris Henry all sadly died during their NFL careers.
However, if you're asking if any player has ever died on the field during a game, the answer is yes and no. Chuck Hughes was 28 years old in 1971 when he had a heart attack during a Monday Night Football game. He died on the field, but not as a result of a hit.
