One person is dead and another injured after the North Carolina home of Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley exploded Monday evening, according to Almiya White of WSOC TV in Charlotte.
Farley was not a victim. He was on the scene Tuesday morning and has cooperated with authorities. The multi-million home was located in Mooresville, N.C.
Iredell County authorities are investigating what led to the explosion. However, the focus is centered on the house’s natural gas lines.
Caleb Farley was a first-round draft pick of the Titans in 2021. He is currently on the physically unable-to-perform list with a back injury. He’s appeared in 12 games in the NFL.
Before becoming a pro, Farley starred as a quarterback at Maiden High School (N.C.). He committed to Virginia Tech and converted into a defensive back. He had 43 tackles, six interceptions, and 19 passes defended in 24 games with the Hokies.
Despite opting out for the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Farley was selected with the 22nd overall pick by the Titans in the 2021 NFL Draft.
