Jaylon Ferguson became the NCAA FBS career sack leader during the 2018 Hawaii Bowl and was also named MVP of the winning team. On September 22, 2019, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Ferguson made his NFL debut and participated in 18 plays. He made his first professional tackle against the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks later. Similar to that, he started his first NFL game on November 3 against the New England Patriots.
The 6-feet-5 played in 14 games and made nine starts for the Ravens in his rookie season. The next year, he was moved to the bench and started just one game. The Sack Daddy participated in 10 games in the 2021–22 season. The rookie has had a remarkable, fast-paced career in which everything happens to him so suddenly. Maybe because it was destined to happen that he would pass away soon.
