Not a bad start for the veteran who started his career with the Houston Texans. The Texans drafted Jackson out of Alabama in the 2010 draft in the first round at No. 20. Jackson played for them for 8 years before moving on to Denver in 2019.
In his career, Jackson has 577 tackles, 20 interceptions and 4 of those have been returned for a touchdown.
Jackson has been part of the Broncos’ resurgence on defense so far this season. Right now, the Broncos are considered one of the top defenses in the NFL.
