Former NFL receiver and Super Bowl hero Jacoby Jones died Sunday, according to multiple reports.
He was 40 years old.
The cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Jones played nine seasons in the NFL, primarily with the Texans and Ravens, before spending his final seasons in the league with the Steelers and Chargers.
He was one of the stars of Super Bowl XLVII, catching a 56-yard touchdown reception and scoring a thrilling 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to help the Ravens beat the 49ers 34-31.
Jones was named an All-Pro returner and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2012.
“Brother! Thank God for the memories and the impact you had on this world,” said Jones’ teammate, Torrey Smith of the Ravens. I wrote to X“You were one of a kind! Your play on the field and jokes will live on forever! We will be rooting for Mama Jones and Lil Coby for the rest of our lives!”
“This has been so hard! I’m gonna miss you! I love you!”
This is an ongoing story.
