Unfortunately, a young career in the NFL will never get the chance to see its full potential. The Baltimore Ravens have lost a member of their defense way too soon.
2015 was Tray Walker’s first full season in the league and while he didn’t touch the field often, the sky was the limit for the young cornerback. Tragically, due to complications from a dirt bike accident, Tray Walker has passed away.
