Minnesota Vikings rookie defensive back Khyree Jackson tragically passed away in a three-car crash in Maryland just weeks before training camp. The 24-year-old fourth-round pick from Oregon was in a Dodge Charger with two high school teammates when an Infiniti Q50 caused the fatal accident. The Charger was completely destroyed, and Jackson, A.J. Lytton Jr., and Isaiah Hazel lost their lives. Authorities believe alcohol was a factor and expect the Infiniti driver to face charges. Vikings players and coaches mourned the loss of Jackson, praising his energy and potential as a player and person. His journey to the NFL was marked by resilience and determination, reflecting his goal to be the best version of himself. General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah expressed deep sorrow over Jackson's untimely death, sending condolences to his family, friends, and the football community.
