Timeline

1983

Tarvaris D'Andre Jackson (April 21, 1983 – April 12, 2020) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL).

Jackson played college football for both the Alabama State Hornets and Arkansas Razorbacks.

He played professionally for the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills.

1992

He was also the first quarterback from Alabama State to be drafted into the NFL since Ricky Jones in 1992.

Even Jackson was surprised by the pick, saying, "I was more focused on [getting drafted in] the third round and even that was stretching it".

2000

Jackson's early selection caused some surprise, as he was the 5th quarterback taken and the 1st Division I-AA player selected (the previous I-AA quarterback drafted was Spergon Wynn in 2000).

2001

Jackson was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, and graduated from Sidney Lanier High School of Montgomery in 2001.

Jackson then enrolled at the University of Arkansas and played three games for the Razorbacks as a freshman but suffered a season-ending injury.

Consequently, Jackson received a medical redshirt for the season.

Jackson finished 2001 with 3 of 9 passes completed for 53 yards and one interception and rushed 14 yards on seven carries.

2002

In 2002, Jackson played 8 games.

He completed 14 of 39 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions and rushed –16 yards in 14 carries.

2003

In 2003, after trailing on the depth chart to future first round draft pick Matt Jones, Jackson transferred to Alabama State University and led the Hornets to an 8–5 record, Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Eastern Division title, and berth in the SWAC Championship Game.

He completed 160 of 316 passes for 2,342 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions and rushed 444 yards on 91 carries including five touchdowns.

2004

As a junior in 2004, Jackson won SWAC Championship MVP in Alabama State's second 10-win season in school history.

With 11 starts in 12 games, Jackson passed for 2,556 yards, 20 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.

He had 67 carries for 215 yards and three touchdowns.

2005

In his senior season in 2005, Jackson was named team captain and was a second-team All-SWAC selection.

He threw for 2,655 yards, 25 touchdowns, and five interceptions.

He rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns on 95 carries.

Vikings scouts and personnel had reportedly been watching him closely in secret over his senior season, particularly liking his performance in the East-West Shrine Game.

They were also impressed by his workout at the scouting combine (among the top 5 quarterbacks in ball speed and the 40-yard dash).

Several NFL teams, including the Vikings, had arranged secret workouts with him too.

2006

The Vikings selected Jackson in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft, and Jackson played for the Vikings from 2006 to 2010.

Jackson was selected with the last pick in the second round (64th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft, while he was projected to go much later, in the sixth or seventh round.

The Vikings traded two 3rd round picks to get the 2nd round pick with which they drafted Jackson, fearing he might get picked sooner than anticipated.

On July 26, 2006, Jackson signed a four-year deal with Minnesota, including a $1 million signing bonus.

Vikings coach Brad Childress was quoted days before the draft as saying he was interested in finding a "developmental guy", a "diamond in the rough" quarterback of the future, raw talent he could teach a system.

The day after the draft, Childress was quoted by the St. Paul Pioneer Press as saying: "I think you judge quarterbacks a little bit differently...When you see what you want at the quarterback position, you need to go get it. And that's exactly what I see with Tarvaris Jackson is a guy that's a piece of clay, that has all the skills in terms of, No. 1, what's he look like throwing the football?...He's got a great throwing motion; he's athletic. He has all those things that we're looking for, and he's wired right. That's important for a quarterback. I think he's a flatline guy. I think he's a sponge. You're talking about a guy that never had a coach there as a quarterback coach. So what can he do with coaching?"

Jackson's 2006 pre-season passer rating was 106.1, 15th in the league out of 110 quarterbacks who performed.

Only one quarterback from his draft class (Jay Cutler) did better.

He also showed great scrambling skills averaging 11.3 yards in rushing (the only Viking other than Brad Johnson to average more than 3.3 yards in rushing).

ESPN analyst Mike Tirico referred to Jackson as a right-handed Michael Vick.

His pre-season performance was enough to surpass second and third-string quarterbacks Mike McMahon and J. T. O'Sullivan on the depth chart.

2007

A reserve quarterback for much of his time with the Vikings, Jackson was starting quarterback for the 2007 season and part of the 2008 season, after which Jackson started the Vikings' Wild Card playoff game.

2010

Most pre-draft publications did not even have him listed as one of the top 10 eligible quarterbacks, while he was the 5th selected.

2011

In 2011, Jackson signed with the Seahawks and was starting quarterback for the 2011 season.

2012

Jackson was then traded to the Bills before the 2012 NFL season but never played a game.

2013

Jackson returned to the Seahawks in 2013.

He was the backup quarterback for Russell Wilson during their Super Bowl XLVIII win over the Denver Broncos.
