Fans Honored Jaylon Ferguson
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."
Ferguson was a third-round draft pick by the Ravens in 2019. From there, he became part of the team's offseason practices in 2022.
His death was heartbreaking enough, especially the fact that his fans knew how much he worked hard to shed a huge amount of weight during training. He was also in the best shape, raising concerns about what truly killed him.
Outside NFL, Ferguson spent his time helping people in need. He extended his help to people in his hometown of Ruston, Louisiana, when they suffered from a deadly tornado.
At that time, Ferguson famously helped the search and rescue teams and assisted them in removing trees from the streets. On top of that, he gave the victims food and water.
