The wide receiver and return specialist, best known for his seasons in Baltimore and Houston, ran a kickoff back for a record 109-yard touchdown in the Ravens’ Super Bowl XLVII win.
Jacoby Jones set a Super Bowl record in 2013 with a 109-yard kickoff return for the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens announced the death of Jones, who had turned 40 Thursday, saying they were “heartbroken” at the news. Information about the cause of death was not available, but“We are completely heartbroken to learn about the passing of Jacoby Jones. Jacoby had the unique ability to connect with everyone he encountered,” the Ravens said in a statement.
Jones set the Super Bowl return record, which is also the longest in any postseason game, against the San Francisco 49ers, and also caught a 56-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to give the Ravens a 21-3 lead in the game, which Baltimore went on to win 34-31. Jones’s 290 total yards are the most in a single Super Bowl.
