The Minnesota Vikings finalized a series of gestures Monday to properly commemorate and honor the legacy of their fourth-round draft selection, Kyhree Jackson.
Jackson tragically passed away along with two of his former high school teammates in a fatal three-car motor vehicle accident earlier this month on July 6 in his home state of Maryland.
The Vikings social media announced that their players will wear helmet decals with Jackson’s initials while the coaches and staff will wear “KJ” pins honoring the fallen young man throughout their upcoming 2024 NFL season. The franchise also will apply honorary stencils to their practice fields and will avoid assigning any player the number #31 and locker previously used and by Jackson.
