Former #Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson died last night in a car accident in Alabama, a spokesperson for his employer Tennessee State tells me. Jackson, 36, was TSU’s QB coach. Along with Seattle, he also played for the #Vikings and #Bills.

This sure is a tragic situation. Jackson’s life was a roller coaster, and he lived it in the public eye.
He was a second round pick coming out of Alabama State, played for multiple teams, won a Super Bowl and had a very public allegation of domestic violence, which was eventually dropped.
Now, at the young age of 36, Jackson is dead. It just doesn’t feel right when somebody that young dies. It’s just not supposed to happen.
His pro career had been over for several years, but he was starting his path as a coach. At the age of 36, it’s all over.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of former #Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson.
You will be missed, TJack!
