Jaylon Ferguson, a Baltimore Ravens linebacker and Louisiana Tech standout, has died at age 26, the team announced Wednesday. “He was a kind, respectful young man with a big smile and infectious personality,” the Ravens said in a statement. “We express our heartfelt condolences to Jaylon’s family and friends as we mourn a life lost much too soon.” No details were revealed about his death but a spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department told the Daily News that officers were called to a home just before midnight Tuesday and found Ferguson, who was unresponsive. Ferguson never regained consciousness and was pronounced dead at the scene. No signs of trauma were noted and foul play is not suspected, but investigators are not ruling out the possibility of an overdose, the police department spokesperson told The News. Ferguson’s body has been taken to the medical examiner’s office to determine a cause of death. Ferguson was drafted by the Ravens in the third round in 2019 after tearing up the field at Louisiana Tech, ending his college career as the NCAA’s all-time sack leader. He made nine starts and appeared in 14 games for the Ravens his rookie season, then moved to the bench the following year, starting just one game.

  • Rockies rally from five runs down with six-run eighth, beat Padres 10-9 in largest comeback of season
    Denver Post, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 06:50 PM

    In the eighth inning of Thursday’s series finale against San Diego, the Rockies’ offense transformed into the Big Purple Machine. Colorado batted around in that frame to erase a five-run deficit, plating six runs in the process. After closer Justin Lawrence cemented the team’s largest comeback of the season with a save in the ninth, the result was a signature moment of positivity amid a spring full of struggles. Yes, the Rockies (7-19) have still yet to win a series in eight tries after splitting with San Diego, surpassing last season’s futility in that regard while also setting a franchise record to start a season.

  • How can Nuggets maximize Nikola Jokic’s defense in playoffs? “I’m not really good defensively one-on-one”
    Denver Post, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 05:04 PM

    If the annual playoff referendum on Nikola Jokic’s defense has already commenced, Jokic himself might have put an amusing stop to it during the first round. As self-deprecating as ever, he didn’t mince words when asked how he can guard Lakers center Anthony Davis better after a barrage of buckets forced Michael Malone to cross-match, hiding Jokic on a lesser scoring threat in Game 2. “He’s an offensive monster, and defensive, too,” Jokic said.
