NFL draft pick Khyree Jackson, from Prince George’s County, will never get to play a down following a deadly car crash near Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, early Saturday morning.

The third person in the car, Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24 of Upper Marlboro, was transported to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center in Largo, where he was subsequently pronounced dead.
Police said the crash involving the maroon Charger also included a silver Infinity Q50 and a silver Chevrolet Impala.
