Police believe former University of Louisiana wide receiver and 2023 NFL draft prospect Michael Jefferson was hit by an impaired driver in a car crash in Alabama earlier this month.
According to TMZ Sports, police suspect that 55-year-old Charles Dunn had alcohol and drugs in his system at the time of the crash, although blood-test results have yet to come back.
Dunn died at the scene after he crossed over into Jefferson's lane and hit Jefferson's vehicle head-on.
Jefferson's agent, Jon Perzley, said Jefferson suffered injuries that "required multiple surgeries," although the exact nature of injuries has not been made public.
