NFL Pays Tribute
Once the NFL learned the news of Jackson, it released a statement. Jackson was not the best quarterback during his time in the league, but he had his share of success, including earning a Super Bowl win as a member of the Seahawks in 2013.
Made History
Warren Sharp shared an interesting fact about Jackson that most NFL fans wouldn't know. He was not the starting QB in the Super Bowl, but because the Seahawks blew out the Denver Broncos, Jackson was able to play, and he became the first backup QB in 20 years to play in the big game.
Sad Day in Montgomery
This coach is remembering Jackson for the impact he made in Montgomery, Alabama. Jackson grew up in the area, and he attended Alabama State, which is located in the area. It's safe to say the entire city is paying tribute to Jackson.
B.J. Daniels
Former Seahawks quarterback B.J. Daniels played with Jackson and, he admired the way the Alabama State alum carried himself. During that time, Jackson was the most experienced QB on the roster, and he did what he could to help the team win. It worked as the team won the championship in 2013.
Highlights
Here's a look at some of Jackson's NFL highlights. He was not the flashiest of quarterbacks, and he wasn't the most consistent. But he was athletic, he had a strong arm, and it led to exciting plays like these.
Bad 2020
This Twitter user is not a fan of 2020. With Kobe Bryant dying, the coronavirus pandemic, and now Jackson, there are plenty of people who would like to push the reset button on 2020 or just skip the remaining months of the year to get to 2021.
First Quarterback
For some Vikings fans, Jackson was the first quarterback they got to know. Jackson wanted to get back in the NFL, as he was looking to be a head coach. He was working up the ranks in the college world, so it was only a matter of time before making his way back to the NFL, and he could have possibly been the next head coach of the Vikings or Seahawks.
