The $2m home, which according to property records belongs to the player, was destroyed in the explosion, while a family friend was also injured and taken to hospital.
On Tuesday, the 24-year-old NFL star shared a picture of his father and posted a video of neighbors toasting his memory, with the caption: “Daddy, you a legend. I love you 4L (for life).”
The cause of the blast, which officials say originated in a bedroom of the property, is currently under investigation.
However, Kent Greene, director of Iredell County Fire Services and Emergency Management, said he believed that the blast was a gas explosion.
No foul play is suspected, the sheriff’s office said.

NFL star Farley was not home at the time of the explosion, but arrived at the scene on Tuesday after hearing of the news.
Family friend Christian Rogers, 25, who was seen leaving the collapsed structure in the aftermath of the explosion was taken to a local hospital with a concussion, according to Greene.
He is awake and alert, but has not yet been discharged, Greene added.
“There could not be anyone in it left alive – that was my first thought,” he said.
