NFL’s Jaylon Ferguson Death Caused By Fentanyl, Cocaine Mixture
After his death was first announced, police did not suspect foul play and said they were investigating the chance that he had suffered an overdose.
Selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Jaylon played in 38 games for the team getting 4.5 sacks and 67 tackles. He was previously a stand-out at Louisiana Tech where he set the NCAA record for most career sacks.
Ferguson was just 26 years old.
Rest in peace Jaylon.
