周六深夜,佛罗里达州Alachua县一条公路上,Chris Payton-Jones驾驶的轿车与一辆皮卡迎头相撞。这位30岁的前NFL防守后卫当场身亡,皮卡上三人仅受轻伤。
Payton-Jones的职业生涯像一部辗转的流浪地图:6年效力过雄狮、泰坦、维京人、突袭者四支球队,出战29场,48次擒抱。2024年他刚转战UFL的西雅图战鹰队,试图延续自己的橄榄球生命。
真正让这条讣告在社交媒体上发酵的,是他高中教练Adam Geis的回忆。「He was one of my all-time favorites! The kid never missed a workout, never missed practice, and never wanted to come off the field.」Geis说,「我从没听他说过任何人的坏话。」
另一位教练Patrick Clark的悼词更扎心:「A great player but even better person. He was never the biggest or fastest, but he did things the right way.」三颗星的高中评级,没有顶级天赋,靠出勤率和态度在联盟硬扛了六年。
战鹰队主帅Anthony Becht在声明里用了同一个词:「joy」——执教他是种 joy,相处是种 joy。Payton-Jins去世前正在转型,计划进入媒体和青少年培训领域。他的最后一条Instagram停留在2024赛季,画面里是战鹰队的蓝色头盔。
