Before the Broncos: Jackson (5-10, 183 pounds) was a product of Nick Saban’s stifling defensive unit at the University of Alabama.

Jackson started 124 out of 132 games over nine years with the Texans. As a member of their defensive backfield, Jackson recorded 16 interceptions (second in Texans franchise history), 88 passes defended (also second in Texans franchise history), six forced fumbles and 468 solo tackles.
In 2019, as an unrestricted free agent, Jackson signed with the Denver Broncos.
