A native of New Orleans, La., Jones helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 against the 49ers. His 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against San Francisco marks the longest play in Super Bowl history. Jones also had a receiving TD in that championship, becoming the first player to catch a TD and score on a return in the same Super Bowl.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh released the following statement on Sunday following his passing on behalf of the Baltimore organization. “We are completely heartbroken to learn about the passing of Jacoby Jones, Jacoby had the unique ability to connect with everyone he encountered. His charisma, joy and love created a one-of-a-kind presence that could light up any room or brighten any dark day. Jacoby will long be remembered not just for his success on the football field, but for the lasting personal connections he made with countless people in the Ravens organization, Baltimore community and every area he called home. We share our deepest condolences with Jacoby’s family as we all began to process this devastating loss.” Jacoby on growing up in the “BIG EASY“.
