Horrible News: #Vikings 2024 4th round pick CB Khyree Jackson has passed away in a car accident, his agent and former high school coach confirmed.

Absolutely devastating.
Jackson was an up and coming prospect in the Vikings' organization who had his fair share of struggles growing up. He used to work in a deli at a grocery store to help make ends meet for his family. He managed to focus on football and work his way out of that life and into NFL stardom. This tragic news is absolutely heartbreaking to everyone in the sports world today.
Khyree Jackson had potential for one of the best comeback stories in sports after he worked his way back to football from a grocery store deli. I'm beyond heartbroken for him, his family, and teammates. Be safe and love on your people.

In his 2023 College year, Jackson recorded 34 total tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and seven passes defensed. He was named First Team All-Pac 12. Jackson had so much potential to be a great NFL player, but sadly, he lost his life way too soon. Condolences go out to his entire family.
