O’Connell reflects on Khyree Jackson

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (KELO) — Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell talked with the media Monday ahead of this year’s training camp.

The two discussed camp which is set to begin this weekend, but the main focus was addressing the tragic loss of Khyree Jackson.

The rookie out of Oregon passed away in early July and Monday was the first time the team spoke publicly about the incident.

“Throughout the draft process and his early time as a Minnesota Viking, you felt a guy that had such a laser focus on what his mission and his plan was,” O’Connell said. “It really showed up in the spring. He had a very, very good spring.”

Training camp begins this Saturday in Eagan, Minnesota.
