EX-NFL QB JACKSON DIES IN CRASH

Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was killed Sunday night in a car crash in Alabama. He would have turned 37 next week. Jackson’s 2012 Camaro left the roadway, struck a tree and overturned. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital, ESPN reported. A Montgomery, Ala., native, Jackson played at Alabama State and was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft. He started 20 games during five seasons with the Vikings, posting a 10-10 record. In 2011, he signed a twoyear deal with the Seattle Seahawks and started 14 games that season, throwing for 3,091 yards with 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Seahawks traded him to Buffalo in 2012. When the Bills released him in 2013, he re-signed with the Seahawks and backed up Russell Wilson for three seasons. He won a Super Bowl with Seattle in 2014.
