Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell released a heartfelt message back in July.
"I am absolutely crushed by this news," O'Connell said. "Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree's family, friends, teammates and coaches."
Still very emotional thinking about what could have been for you—Rest in peace, Khyree.
Vikings fans will always remember you💜#SKOL pic.twitter.com/aGEREUJ9ce
