Just hours before he passed away, an NFL football hopeful who was killed in a car accident on Saturday morning posted a heartbreaking final message.
Khyree Jackson, 24, and two of his companions were killed by a speeding automobile, according to the police. Not long ago, the Minnesota Vikings selected Jackson in the NFL draft.
Early on Saturday morning, police reported that both driver Hazel and cornerback Jackson had been declared dead at the scene. Jackson’s high school teammate was Hazel.
Another passenger and teammate, Anthony Lytton Jr., was taken to the hospital but was subsequently declared dead as well.
With the caption, “Mmmhmmm,” Jackson shared a 10-slide Instagram carousel on Friday that featured images from his life, including one of him at Vikings practice.
Jackson also shared selfies in front of a mirror to flaunt his fashionable attire, flexing with a reptile, and grinning on a beach alongside two parrots.
A group of people who are classified as “dreamers” watch a man who is classified as a “doer” ride a massive wave in a photo in the post that compares “dreamers” and “doers.”
Jackson was a true “doer.”
After graduating from Dr. Henry Wise Jr. High School, the football star reportedly enrolled at Fort Scott Community College. After rising through the ranks, he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Oregon Ducks.
According to Oregon Live, Jackson had his best season to date in 2023, making him the Ducks’ top cornerback.
In the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, they selected the 24-year-old cornerback.
The Vikings released a statement saying, “We are devastated to learn of Khyree Jackson’s passing following an overnight car accident.”
“The Minnesota Vikings have spoken with Khyree’s family and offered their assistance as we continue our investigation.”
“The Vikings players, coaches, and staff have also been informed of the news, and we have provided counseling to those who require emotional support.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Khyree’s family, friends, teammates, coaches, and everyone else who lost their lives in this horrific accident.”
All of the other players wanted to play because of Jackson’s “contagious energy.”
“I’m devastated by this news.” In a statement, O’Connell stated, “Khyree’s energy spread throughout our building and team.”
“He had a great personality and was confident, so his teammates liked him right away.” It was evident to us during our time together that Khyree would excel as a professional football player. His desire to be the best version of himself for his family and those around him, however, truly struck me as impressive.
“I’m at a loss for words. My prayers and thoughts are with Khyree’s family, friends, teammates, and coaches.
A fast-moving Infiniti pulled out in front of Jackson and two former colleagues while they were riding in a Dodge Charger at around three in the morning on Saturday.
According to the police, the Charger struck multiple tree stumps and veered off to the right after being struck.
According to the authorities, a Chevrolet Impala was also struck by the Infiniti.
Cori Clingman, the Impala’s driver, and the two passengers in her vehicle were unharmed. The Infiniti’s driver wasn’t either.
Charges have not yet been brought following the inquiry.
