Hated to see that. Jesse was a baller for us. RIP.

He was a graduate, right? How was he working as a MARTA cop?

I know of a basketball player that worked at Walmart.

Not everyone turns out to be a millionaire badass, despite GT.

Don't remember the game, but do remember the play. Jesse rushed hard from the outside, jumped to pick a pass virtually right out of the QB's hand, then I'm pretty sure he took it to the house. It was quite a play. Sad to hear of his death. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

There's a donation page for his family (5 kids and one on the way.)
