Infuriating and heartbreaking all at the same time

WTH. Highschool friends and still good friends and they all pass away together? WTH. This s*cks so much. wow.

[@leechristian5902]

What an absolute devastated news to Khyree Jackson and it was very sad day ever with losing 3 young players into a car crash and left too soon and they had a lot more life coming there way with football career. I was looking forward to his rookie season with plays for the Vikings with then 2 months for the season to start and now this happened so heartbreaking. Rest In Peace Khyree Jackson, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr.

[@dizzyfingers7180]

The NFL needs to strengthen the rookie transition program. I know it was a drunk driver who killed him, but why was he running the streets at 3 AM in Upper Marlboro Maryland? I see this happened to so many rookies in varying degrees. I honestly believe that rookies need to spend the first six months under the strict supervision of their new team in their new location. This is not a comment on Khyree; I’m talking about the rookie transition program, and how it will save the lives of hard-working, promising young individuals.

Who would draft such a dumbell without doing background checks? Well, at least he did not go like Korey Stringer.
