Baltimore Ravens and NFL rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley is honoring deceased Auburn football player Jakell Mitchell.

Auburn football player Jakell Mitchell was found shot and killed this morning at an apartment complex. He was a freshman at Auburn and was a promising football player. These types of stories are surfacing way too much these days, and it’s heartbreaking to see this happen.

Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley has decided to honor Mitchell and dedicate today’s game in memory of him. It’s a very touching sentiment, and it brings a bit extra to the game this afternoon.

Take a look at the picture that Mosley posted on Twitter:

Obviously this is a strong statement by a very talented football player, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Mitchell family as well. It’s never easy to see someone pass away at such a young age, much less due to everything that was involved with the situation. Mosley is a true professional for doing this and responding so quickly to the news, and hopefully he comes through with a big game in honor of him.
