With many XFL players having tryouts across the league, the Minnesota Vikings have joined the party. They have signed wide receiver Lucky Jackson from the XFL’s DC Defenders. In order to make room for him on the roster, they have waived 2020 seventh-round pick outside linebacker Kenny Willekes.
Before playing for the DC Defenders, Jackson was a standout for Western Kentucky. He broke out as a senior in 2019 with 94 receptions, 1,133 yards and four touchdowns.
