It’s one of the saddest stories in quite some time and to see a young man full of so much potential pass away is a reminder of just how valuable life really is.
Walker was loved by everyone in the Ravens locker room and on Friday, head coach John Harbaugh penned a heartfelt letter to his entire team about the situation, in what has become a difficult time for the organization.
