Former Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson killed in automobile accident

In the Year Of The Gutpunch, 2020 just keeps on throwing haymakers, and this one really sucks.

Most of us are waking up to the news that former Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was killed last night in a car accident in his hometown of Montgomery, AL:

He was drafted by the VIkings in the second round of the 2006 draft, the first QB selected by then first year head coach Brad Childress. The Vikings moved up to the last pick in the second round to nab TJ, and the largely unknown QB from 1-AA Jackson State immediately became the Vikings QB Of The Future.
