Drunk driver pleads guilty to crash that killed Vikings' Khyree Jackson

The 'NFL on Fox' crew review what NFL teams still have hope for the 2025 season and which teams can "Fork'em" this year.

The person who caused the car accident that killed Khyree Jackson, who was a rookie on the Minnesota Vikings last year at the time of his death, pleaded guilty to three counts of negligent homicide under the influence of alcohol on Friday.

Cori Clingman, 25, made the plea in a Maryland court, and is now likely to serve three years in prison. Prosecutors will recommend a five-year sentence for each count.

"Incidents like these are not just accidents," Prince George's County State's Attorney Tara Jackson said. "They are preventable tragedies that occur from conscious choices."

Clingman allegedly drove more than 100 mph while intoxicated when she caused a three-car crash on July 6, 2024. The crash killed Jackson alongside two of his high school teammates, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr.
