On Saturday, the NFL world was shocked by the tragic news of Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson's death in a car accident.
Jackson played collegiately at Alabama and Oregon before the Vikings selected him in the fourth round of this year's draft.
After the news hit social media, two New England Patriots with connections to the cornerback shared their thoughts.
The first was Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who played at Oregon before being drafted by New England in the first round of the 2023 draft.

One of New England's 2024 fourth-round picks, wide receiver Javon Baker, played with Jackson at Alabama in 2021.
