A week before his sudden passing, he attended a training camp for his team while preparing for his fourth season with the Ravens.
His fellow linebacker, Patrick Queen, reacted to his death on social media, saying Ferguson was the last person he spoke to while leaving the facility.

The Louisiana native was a father to two children named Jyce and Jrea.
In a previous interview with Penn-Live Patriot News, he noted that his children were his motivation whenever he plays.
"On the field, I got people I can't let down. That's how I work. That's how I eat. And I've got my kids now, so I'm not going to let nothing stop me from eating," he added.
In early reports, the athlete was known to help people during tough times, like when his hometown of Ruston, Louisiana, experienced a shocking tornado.
He helped search and rescue teams by removing trees from the streets. He also gave out food and water to the natural disaster victims.
