The Baltimore Ravens lost one of their own. The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office announced former Ravens running back Lorenzo Taliaferro passed away Wednesday evening at 28-years-old. According to Bruce Cunningham of Fox Baltimore, the family says it was from a heart attack.
Taliaferro was Baltimore’s fourth-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Taliaferro rushed for 292 yards and four touchdowns on 68 attempts, adding another eight receptions for 114 yards. Unfortunately, injuries derailed a promising career, seeing Taliaferro play just six more games for the Ravens over the following two years before failing to make the 53-man roster in 2017.
Some of Baltimore’s current and former players took to Twitter to pay their condolences.
