1996 was the inaugural season for the new Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore had finally gotten back an NFL team 12 years after the Baltimore Colts left for Indianapolis. Art Modell had moved the old Cleveland Browns to Baltimore and brought the players with them, guys that not only made a name for themselves in Cleveland, but with the Ravens as well. Unfortunately, the Ravens and Browns family tragically lost one of those players on Friday.
Wide receiver Michael Jackson was sadly killed on Friday morning in a motorcycle accident in Tangipahoa, Louisiana, as first reported by TMZ Sports. He was 48-years old.
