Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died Sunday night in a car crash.
He was 36.
Tennessee State University, where Jackson was employed as a quarterbacks coach, confirmed news of his death to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Police later confirmed the news to Tom Schad of USA Today, noting it was a single-car crash.
"Tarvaris Jackson was my mentor! He played the game with dignity and taught me how to use my MIND to manipulate the defense," B.J. Daniels, Jackson's former teammate with the Seattle Seahawks, tweeted. "When my family couldn't make it to Seattle for holidays, it was TJACK who invited me to his house to celebrate with his family!"
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro that Jackson was driving went off the road, struck a tree and overturned at 8:50 p.m. Sunday, Trooper Benjamin "Michael" Carswell, an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman, said in a news release. Jackson was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The wreck occurred on Pike Road, about seven miles south of Montgomery, his hometown. No other details were immediately released about the crash, which remained under investigation.
