A 2023 NFL Draft prospect was involved in a fatal car crash in Alabama on Sunday and needed to undergo multiple surgeries, his agent said.

Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns wide receiver Michael Jefferson was considered to be a mid-round pick when the draft kicks off in late April.

But the draft is unfortunately not the top priority right now. His agent told ESPN that Jefferson has serious injuries from the car crash in Mobile. The nature of those injuries has not been disclosed.

A man was pronounced dead at the crash site when Alabama law enforcement arrived, per TMZ. It was a 55-year-old man in a 2014 Dodge Charger who wasn’t wearing his seat belt when he collided head-on with Jefferson’s 2019 Chevy Impala. That collision led to a 2008 Nissan Maxima also hitting Jefferson’s vehicle.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is investigating the crash.
