周六深夜,佛羅里達州Alachua縣一條公路上,Chris Payton-Jones駕駛的轎車與一輛皮卡迎頭相撞。這位30歲的前NFL防守后衛當場身亡,皮卡上三人僅受輕傷。
Payton-Jones的職業生涯像一部輾轉的流浪地圖:6年效力過雄獅、泰坦、維京人、突襲者四支球隊,出戰29場,48次擒抱。2024年他剛轉戰UFL的西雅圖戰鷹隊,試圖延續自己的橄欖球生命。
真正讓這條訃告在社交媒體上發酵的,是他高中教練Adam Geis的回憶。「He was one of my all-time favorites! The kid never missed a workout, never missed practice, and never wanted to come off the field.」Geis說,「我從沒聽他說過任何人的壞話。」
另一位教練Patrick Clark的悼詞更扎心:「A great player but even better person. He was never the biggest or fastest, but he did things the right way.」三顆星的高中評級,沒有頂級天賦,靠出勤率和態度在聯盟硬扛了六年。
戰鷹隊主帥Anthony Becht在聲明里用了同一個詞:「joy」——執教他是種 joy,相處是種 joy。Payton-Jins去世前正在轉型,計劃進入媒體和青少年培訓領域。他的最后一條Instagram停留在2024賽季,畫面里是戰鷹隊的藍色頭盔。
