A football prospect for the NFL who died in a car accident on Saturday morning wrote a
sad last post just hours before he died. Police say a speeding car killed 24-year-old
Khyree Jackson and two of his friends. Jackson was picked up by the Minnesota Vikings in
the NFL draft not long ago. Police confirmed early Saturday morning that Jackson, the cornerback,
and Hazel, the driver, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Hazel was Jackson’s
high school teammate. Anthony Lytton Jr., a fellow passenger and teammate, was rushed to
the hospital but later pronounced dead as well.
On Friday, Jackson posted a 10-slide Instagram carousel with pictures from his life,
including ones of him at Vikings practice, along with the message “Mmmhmmm.”
Jackson also posted pictures of himself smiling on a beach with two parrots, flexing with a lizard,
and taking selfies in front of a mirror to show off his stylish clothes.
In a picture in the post comparing “dreamers” and “doers,” a group of people labeled as
“dreamers” watch a man labeled as a “doer” surf a huge wave.
