Early years

College career
Jackson proved key in one of college football's biggest upsets, recording two touchdowns and 92 yards as well as 19 yards rushing, in the Mountaineers' 34-32 Week 1 win over the No. 5 ranked Michigan Wolverines in 2007. A photograph of Jackson running the ball past the Michigan defense was featured on the cover of the September 10, 2007 edition of Sports Illustrated.[1]
Professional career
Pre-draft
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Jackson ran the manually timed 40-yard dash (4.27 seconds) faster than any other receiver[2] which bumped his value up the Buccaneers' draft board.[3]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jackson was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round (58th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft.[4] On July 25, he signed a four-year contract. He played seven games for the team in 2008.
The Buccaneers waived Jackson on August 31, 2009.
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers signed Jackson to their practice squad on October 12, 2009. After his contract expired following the season, he was re-signed to a future contract on January 4, 2010. Jackson was waived by the Panthers on August 31, 2010.
Virginia Destroyers
Jackson was signed by the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League on May 23, 2011.[5]
New York Jets
Jackson was signed to the New York Jets' practice squad on November 9, 2011.[6] He was released on November 19.[7] He was re-signed to the practice squad on November 30.[8] Jackson was waived on August 25, 2012.[9]
High Country Grizzlies
On December 19, 2016, Jackson signed with the High Country Grizzlies of the National Arena League (NAL) to be the marquee player and face of the team for marketing and ticket sales during their inaugural 2017 season. He agreed to a contract that included sales incentives and a relocation reimbursement for Jackson and his family. Jackson initially requested his ticket sales incentives in February prior to the start of the season, but Jackson would leave the team over non-payment in May and the league suspended Jackson. In August, Jackson took the Grizzlies to arbitration with the league and the NAL ruled in Jackson's favor with the team owing Jackson US$9,500. Jackson filed another complaint with Watauga County over continued non-payment by the team as of January 2018.[10]
