Detroit Lions trio respects Khyree Jackson’s murder
Detroit Lions lament Khyree Jackson’s passing, a former teammate The news of Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson’s passing hit the NFL world on Saturday morning, bringing grief. Initial reports indicated drinking may have played a role in the three-car tragedy that claimed the lives of Jackson, 24, and two of his pals. A Potential Career Abruptly Ended Prior to joining the Vikings, Jackson, a fourth-round draft selection, had a distinguished collegiate career at Oregon and Alabama. The impact of his passing on the Detroit Lions was compounded by the fact that several current players attended Alabama during his time there. Former teammates and Detroit Lions cornerbacks Brian Branch and Terrion Arnold, who shared the Crimson Tide locker room with Khyree Jackson, sent heartfelt tributes to Jackson on social media.
