    The NFL world and some former Indianapolis Colts players are mourning the shocking death of Jacoby Jones.

    The former NFL wide receiver and return specialist was found dead in his Houston home Saturday night. The cause of death is currently unknown.

    A pair of fan favorites in former Colts punter Pat McAfee and defensive back Darius Butler took to social media to mourn Jones' shocking death.

    McAfee and Butler were just one of many NFL brethren to mourn Jones' shocking death Sunday.

    Jones spent nine seasons in the NFL earning one All-Pro selection and one Pro Bowl nod.

    He began his career with the Houston Texans as a third-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He spent his first five seasons in Houston before joining the Ravens in 2012.

    He earned his only All-Pro Pro Bowl nod with Baltimore as a kick returner. In Super Bowl XLVII, Jones became the first player in Super Bowl history to score a receiving touchdown and a return touchdown in the same game.

    Jones also spent one season with the San Diego Chargers (2015) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2015).
