Metellus is devastated by the loss of his teammate and plans to honor him this season.
Vikings safety Josh Metellus was stunned and devastated when he heard the news that rookie teammate Khyree Jackson had died in a car accident earlier this month.. "I was on a flight back from London and one of the players texted me and told me the news. I literally broke down in tears in the middle of the plane. I just talked to him a couple days before, telling how when we go to Chicago I was gonna take him shopping and do all these things.
The Vikings will undoubtedly honor Jackson in various ways throughout the upcoming season. Metellus told Wolfson he plans to dedicate his season to his fallen teammate. Like Metellus said, the start of training camp next week will allow for Vikings players, coaches, and staffers to come together and support each other as they grieve as a team. In the time since Jackson's passing, they've had to do that from afar. Metellus said he's made sure to reach out to teammates and other people in his life to let them know how much he cares about them.
