I sat down this morning to write and just as I did the news broke about the tragic passing of Jaylon Ferguson. Devastating news like this stops you dead in your tracks. Suddenly, the day takes a disastrous twist and we’re left wondering how and why.
Although I didn’t know Jaylon personally, he always struck me as an affable, happy-go-lucky guy who seemed at home on the football field, putting in the work to refine his craft as a professional. Ferguson was about to embark upon his fourth season in the bigs – an important season that would define the next chapter in his career.
