Jack was more than a teammate to me, he was my friend. He was one of the first people to teach me the difference in a professional and a pro. More importantly he was a great Florida man. He made it his mission to make others smile. Gonna miss you bro. Love you Jack! “The Ultimate Pro” 🙏🏾

I do not know the circumstances surrounding Vincent's passing, just stunned that such a bright light is gone. Getting to know him, work with him and bring a message of kindness to our schools, has been a highlight for me. We loved him as a person and a player and will miss him. pic.twitter.com/vwHRyMoAaP

Florida Florida man, no way. Praying for Vincent Jackson’s family. Dude was 3 years younger than me. Rest In Peace brother

Florida Florida man, not VJ. He was one of the first players to really welcome me into the locker room in SD. We would talk about his time in Louisiana at Fort Polk in Leesville. He did so Florida many amazing things on and off the field. This one hurts. Rest In Peace 8️⃣3️⃣ 🙏 https://t.co/GhR54iE4oL
