Former Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died Sunday night in a car crash. He was 36.

A Tennessee State spokesperson confirmed Jackson's death to ESPN. Jackson was the Tigers' quarterbacks coach in 2019 after spending a year as a quality control and quarterbacks coach at his alma mater, Alabama State.

According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Jackson was involved in a single-vehicle crash at 8:50 p.m. Sunday; the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree and then overturned. Jackson was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The crash occurred approximately 7 miles south of Jackson's hometown of Montgomery, Alabama.

Several of Jackson's former teammates and coaches took to Twitter after hearing the news of his death.

Jackson is survived by his wife, Lakitta, and three children, Tarvaris, Takayla and Tyson.

His 10-year NFL career began in Minnesota when he was drafted 64th overall in 2006. Jackson started 21 regular-season and playoff games for the Vikings but was a backup for most of his five seasons in Minnesota. The 6-foot-2 quarterback helped the Vikings win the NFC North title in 2008 before his sole postseason appearance, a wild-card loss to Philadelphia.

Jackson ended his time in Minnesota as Brett Favre's backup for the 2009-10 seasons. Jackson signed with Seattle as a free agent in 2011 and won over the Seahawks' locker room during his lone season as a starter by playing through a partially-torn pectoral muscle on his throwing side. He compiled a 7-7 record as a starter before being traded to Buffalo ahead of the 2012 season. He did not register a snap with the Bills.

Jackson returned to Seattle in 2013 and was Wilson's backup in the Seahawks' Super Bowl XLVIII victory over the Denver Broncos.
