The sudden and tragic passing of Khyree Jackson may not be in the news as much as it was this offseason, but his presence is very much on this team. His locker has been left untouched at U.S. Bank Stadium, and on the road, they always make sure his memory travels with them.
Vikings running back Aaron Jones spoke to the media on Wednesday and shared the details of a moment he had with the family of Khyree Jackson before their matchup with the Colts.
Jones shared that he has made sure that flowers have remained in Jackson’s locker all year, and he shared that with his family. Jones added, “We miss him and he’s not forgotten. Everything we’re doing this year is for him.”
Jones has quickly become one of the leaders on this Vikings team despite just joining the team this offseason. If he continues his work on and off the field, the Vikings would be wise to have him get a longer-term deal done with the team.
