Friends and family of NFL wide receiver and Super Bowl winner Jacoby Jones are saddened by his sudden death.<\/p>\n
Jones left an indelible mark on football. Jones, who was 40 years old, died peacefully at his home in New Orleans on July 14, 2024. He was talented, charming, and kind.<\/p>\n
Jones\u2019s superior skills on and off the field were praised by coworkers, fans, and family in a flood of tributes. Jones was remembered by his former teammate J.J. Watt as a \u201cfun-loving\u201d partner who always had a smile on his face. Torrey Smith called him a \u201cbrother\u201d whose jokes and field plays would \u201clive on forever!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Baltimore Ravens, where Jones played for a lot of years, sent their deepest regrets and praised his unique ability to connect with everyone he met. \u201cHis happiness, charm, and love gave him a one-of-a-kind presence that brightened even the gloomiest days,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
Jones was a \u201clight\u201d and a \u201ccherished son\u201d to his mother, according to Coach John Harbaugh, who remembered him with fondness. Linebacker Ray Lewis, who is in the Ravens\u2019 Hall of Fame, said the same thing. He called Jones a \u201cbrother\u201d whose memories and hard work would never be forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
