Jackson turned 35 in April, making him one of the NFL’s more seasoned veterans. He appears, however, to have found the fountain of youth.

The former Alabama standout is coming off of a career year. In 2022, Jackson played 1,139 snaps, the most of his professional career, and logged a career-high 94 tackles.

Jackson began his NFL career in Houston. The Texans selected Jackson No. 20 overall in the 2010 NFL Draft. Jackson spent his first 9 seasons in Houston before signing with Denver in the 2019 offseason. He has signed 1-year contracts with the Broncos each of the last 3 years.

For his career, Jackson has played in 193 regular-season games, recording 901 combined tackles and 20 interceptions, including 4 touchdowns, with 7 forced fumbles and 7 fumble recoveries.
