Just wondering, not trying to be insensitive, but was he a starter or a 3rd or 4th string? I'm not familiar with his name. Just curious on how the loss will affect the team, roster wise.

He played but wasn't a starter, but their starters aren't to good and he was raw so he could have developed into one

Yeah, I believe he was a small school kid who the Ravens saw ability it.
One of those guys that was a work in progress... It's such a shame he'll never get to see all that hard work come to fruition.

As horrific as this is, you have to be smarter than to be extra hard to see when it's dark. 2-wheeled vehicles are at a huge deficit even when conditions are "perfect". Hopefully, this tragedy will save someone from a similar fate.

This. No helmet, no lights.......this dude was either high, suicidal or just a massive potato. There is no way any rational thinking person could see that ending well.

It was a dirt bike, many dirt bikes don't have lights.

Does that somehow make driving on a city street at night wearing dark clothing and with no lights on any less dumb?

This.

Maybe he thought he could make a quick trip but got caught in the dark? The time of accident was just before 8pm according to reports. The sun sets around that time in miami.

Not sure he would take off at night.

I'm by no means suggesting it wasn't an ill-advised decision. If however there is anything that can be said in his defence, perhaps he thought the streets/area he was traveling in was not that busy & he could get away with it.

Some real jerks in here. I'm sure none of you trash talkers did stupid stuff in your early 20's. All of us do, I'm just fortunate enough to have lived through it.

RIP, prayers to your family.

It is called common sense for anyone operating a vehicle of any sort. Sad story, but it could have been prevented.

Are NFL players just getting dumber every year?

All of the USA is.

True story. At that age people think they are invincible. I know I did.
