Fans and organizations took their time to pay tribute to the late athlete and remembered his contributions before his tragic passing.
One fan said, "Between this and Jaylon Ferguson, it's been a rough day for Baltimore. I loved The Goose when he was in the NFL. One of those old personalities that felt larger than life itself. My sympathies are with you, Ravens fans."
