damn fellas I got two in a year vonte pass we talked about that now Jobe Jones man both 40 under 40 and we're all over 40 and it's just it's it's tough on me jacobe was one of I think JJ Watt talked about it jacobe is one of the most funloving dancing happiness dudes I've ever been around in my life Ravens Super Bowl in New Orleans we was down there hanging out jacobe talking trash Dante Whitner we just having a good time in uh Cafe dine man and whatever whatever did take jacobe man just we've talked about it before bro watch out for your people ask your people they doing okay I know we SP spoken about that I know the story about job is gonna come out I know more information gonna come out but fellas I'll be honest I can't I can't keep losing friends like this at this age we ain't we ain't 95 bro I I can't keep losing friends like this it obviously hits close to home because Jacob's from New Orleans and you mentioned the Super Bowl that was like a celebration for everybody who ever had a 504 area code that he got to star from the 108 yard kickoff return to the touchdown catch like he got to be a star at the crib and you're right man he's just he was always dancing always fun always smiling always full of joy and it's a reminder that life is short you know like we like you say we've been living and we are all 40 plus but that seems like it went like this like you get there so fast and your kids grow and part of getting to this point is we lose people and losing people doesn't have an age limit you know whether I was 18 when my friend committed suicide or 27 when sha was shot and killed right we we've been losing people our entire lives but this hit so close to home because you don't have the information and you just wonder what was it is it something about the way that we chose to have a career right is it an effect of not being able to handle life after football there are so many things that can be questioned and all the time when it happens to us and it's seemingly young those are the questions that are asked and sometimes we don't get those answers I know for me man I just my heart goes out to his people my heart goes out to his family and I think more than anything it's that they in some way can find some peace in his rest and that's a difficult thing when things happen so suddenly and think about the light that somebody brought to you it's often hard in these times or when they have an opportunity to lay them to rest but afterwards man or even leading up to that the stories that will be told about the person he was about the memories he's left about the joy he was able to bring I think that's what's going to be the best and so for me man I always remember seeing him pregame I remember him talking trash during the game and more than anything him holding that Lombardi Trophy and in his postc career sharing that with other young men who wish they could be toobe Jones so man rest my friend we'll miss you and U you know we'll see you again I just want to give uh heartfelt condolences to his family um jacobe Jones digital 12 always dancing always smiling everything that JJ Watt said most fun lovable likable guy um the guys that I know that were teammates of his they would always say how he kept the locker room light you know you always needed that one person to keep the locker room light and uh whether he joking dancing uh having dance offs against other teammates or whatever you know he was that guy he was a bad man on the field you give him a space he's going definitely going to outr run you and take you to distance amazing uh specialist can also get down the field on routes um you know it's really sad especially at at this age as RC said it can happen any time but it really hit you just three days after celebrating his birthday man and and that I think for me um made it even you know make me feel even more sad uh I called a friend yesterday who I know he was really tight with and she said uh he going to dance his way through the gates yeah and uh she misses the hell out of him um man rest in peace uh big dog uh you'll be missed you'll be missed
