Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson dies aged 26
"The tragic passing of Jaylon Ferguson profoundly saddens us," the Ravens said in a statement.
"He was a kind, respectful young man with a big smile and infectious personality."
The cause of death was not given, with the Ravens saying Ferguson's family asked for "your prayers and privacy during this trying time".
Police said officers responded to a home in north Baltimore at approximately 23:25 on Tuesday and found Ferguson unresponsive and being treated by medics.
He did not regain consciousness and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said there were no signs of trauma or foul play. The medical examiner's office will determine a cause of death.
Since being picked in the third draft round in 2019, Ferguson had played 38 games, including ten starts, and recorded 67 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his three seasons in the NFL.
