Broncos safety Kareem Jackson comments on meeting with Roger Goodell

Denver Broncos suspended safety Kareem Jackson recently met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in New York, seeking clarity on what he believes have been inconsistent punishments this season.

After that meeting, Jackson said he felt better after having an opportunity to express himself, but he is still perplexed by the NFL’s stance on tackling.

“I was told that I’m responsible for the offensive guys’ protection,” Jackson said on Sunday evening, via DenverSports.com’s Andrew Mason. “So I’m not really sure how I protect myself, make plays and protect him [the opponent] as well, but that’s what I was told. I’m not really sure what I do moving forward, as far as playing this game. So, hopefully, I’ll figure it out.”

Jackson spoke to media members on Monday night ahead of his foundation’s shopping spree with 50 kids at a local Walmart.

Jackson, 35, will be eligible to return from his four-game suspension after the Broncos face the Detroit Lions on Saturday. Following the 2023 season, Jackson is scheduled to become a free agent in the spring.
