Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at first-year* defensive lineman Jordan Jackson, No. 94.
Before the Broncos: Jackson (6-4, 294 pounds) played college football for the Air Force Falcons. He totaled 29.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage during his time with the Falcons, tied for eighth-most in academy history. He earned second-team all-conference recognition two times with the Air Force before entering the NFL draft in 2022.
The New Orleans Saints picked Jackson in the sixth round of the draft in 2022 and he spent his rookie season on their practice squad.
Broncos tenure: Denver signed Jackson in 2023 and he spent the entire season on the team’s practice squad. He is yet to appear in a regular season game in the NFL.
*Though he has been in the league since 2022, the NFL lists Jackson as a “first-year player” because he does not have an “accrued season,” which is at least six games on the active roster or reserve in the same season.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. Jackson is competing in a crowded defensive line room. His best chance to stick around in 2024 will likely be on the practice squad.
