Baltimore Ravens third-round pick, Jaylon Ferguson dead at 26 » FirstSportz

Recently, the NFL has seen many deaths in the under-50 veteran community. However, the latest news comes as a bigger shock than any previous one. Sadly, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson has passed away at the age of 26. He would be far too far away.

Ferguson was the team’s third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and didn’t have a straight path to the league. He must fight for his spot by competing at Louisiana Tech, where he proved his worth by recording 67 total tackles and 4.5 sacks over three seasons with the team. He was also named MVP in the 2018 Hawaii Bowl, and after that, the next step was to play against the best, so he entered the NFL Draft.

“He was a kind, respectful young man with a big smile”: Baltimore Ravens HC John Harbaugh offers his condolences

Jaylon was the 2018 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year and he also received the First Team All C-USA honors twice. To his credit, he also set the record for sack records at the school level as well as in the NCAA.

Drafted 85th overall by the Baltimore Ravens, he spent three seasons in the city and it had quickly become part of his DNA.

The Ravens organization published the following explanation to his death: “We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Jaylon Ferguson. He was a kind, respectful young man with a big smile and an infectious personality. We send our heartfelt condolences to Jaylon’s family and friends as we mourn a life lost far too soon.”

Head coach John Harbaugh and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley were also stunned by his sudden death. “Jaylon was a kind, gentle person who loved his family and team. It was a pleasure to talk to him and to be there every day. You’ve always wanted to speak to ‘Ferg’, take our prayers and help to his family.” Coach Harbaugh said he mourned the passing linebackers.

“In practice he went against him, he always told me when I was doing a good job even if it meant it was against him. He was so excited every time he had a new child about to be born. He always talked about it.” OT Ronnie Stanley shared his thoughts on the linebacker.

The Baltimore Police Department reported a questionable death at 400 Ilchester Avenue in the Harwood neighborhood of Baltimore. Ferguson was found to be unresponsive even after medics attempted to revive him.

“Ferguson never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at the scene by medics,” a Baltimore Police Department spokeswoman Niki Front explained.

According to initial police reports, there were no signs of trauma or third-party negligence. The coroner determined the cause of death after preparing an expert opinion. We share our thoughts and prayers with Jaylon Ferguson’s family and friends at this difficult time.
