Deshazor Everett focus of NFL fans after tragic accident
Among the many fans commenting on Deshazor Everett's involvement in the incident, many hoped he was not driving under the influence once it became clear he was the driver involved in the accident.
Note that the investigations are still preliminary and we are not aware of the reasons for the crash.
Man I hope Deshazor Everett wasn’t driving impaired 🙏🏾
Other NFL fans sent condolences to the families of both Deshazor Everett and the victim and promised to keep them in their prayers.
Prayers up for the families of Olivia Peters and DeShazor Everett. 🙏🙏🙏
The DeShazor Everett news is just brutal. Tragic car accidents are any parent/family's true nightmare. Will keep all the families involved in prayer. 🙏
Once it became known that the injuries Deshazor Everett suffered were non-life-threatening, the prayers became more specific to wishing him a speedy recovery.
Heartbreaking news. Wishing a well recovery for Deshazor Everett and sending my condolences to the family and friends prayers of Olivia Peters. Prayers up 🙏🏾 twitter.com/augensteinwtop…
Other NFL fans jumped to conclusions about his career after the fatal crash, as is human nature, though it must be kept in mind again that we do not have conclusive evidence for the cause of the crash yet.
Super sad Super unfortunate RIP to that girl and RIP to the Deshazor Everett’s career twitter.com/nickijhabvala/…
Some speculated on the tragedy and the reasons behind it. Once again, we must reiterate that we have not had any confirmation of the relationship of the victim to Deshazor Evertee or any related information.
Imagine being Deshazor Everett. In the hospital on Xmas Eve with the knowledge he killed the love of his life and that his football career is over.
Some inevitably drew parallels between the case of Henry Ruggs and Deshazor Everett and how it was another car crash fatality involving an NFL player.
Wow. Here we go again. Just read the story on WFT’s Deshazor Everett. I’ll withhold any judgement on this until actual facts are released, but man another death with an NFL player driving.
RIP to his passenger, Olivia S. Peters
Based on local reports, both Deshazor Everett and his passenger were ejected from the car upon crashing. Reacting to that, one NFL fan perhaps summed up the general disbelief among the masses.

Another NFL fan bizarrely seemed to bring politics into the incident, using a euphemism used to slag off incumbent President Joe Biden to sign off on their tweet.

Let’s go Brandon!
Finally, despite the seriousness of the loss of life, some NFL fans seemed to focus on the football aspect of Deshazor Everett likely missing the rest of the season and perhaps beyond.
Can’t be overstated what DeShazor Everett means to the #WashingtonFootball organization, not just on the field. He’s a four time special teams captain, so offense/defense, rookies/vets they all look to him for guidance and leadership. He’s more than just a guy off the bench
Ultimately, there is nothing to be said about this story that can fully encapsulate the tragedy. Even though prayers seem inadequate, we extend them to the loved ones of the victim and also keep Deshazor Everett in our thoughts as he recovers from his injuries.
We hope the law takes its own course in bringing the case to a just conclusion.
