Two of the first to react were Ferguson's teammates on defense, fellow linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Tony Jefferson. In a truly heartbreaking message, Queen detailed how Ferguson was the last person he would talk to before leaving the Ravens facility, with the two spending nearly every day together in their quests for greatness.
Three-time Pro Bowler and Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard also shared his initial reaction to the unbelievable news that Ferguson had died:
The “Sack Daddy” nickname is one that Ferguson earned during his time at Louisiana Tech, where he tallied the most career sacks in FBS history. Finally, even though he is no longer with the Ravens, New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II spent two seasons with the franchise, also Ferguson's first two years in the NFL:
Ingram expressed his love for Ferguson in an emotional message. It's clear that in three seasons with the Ravens, Ferguson left a profound mark on his teammates.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ravens and Ferguson's family in this time of need.
