Once a depth pickoff from Tennessee, Jackson has become a key member of the defense...
EAGAN — When Theo Jackson was drafted in the sixth round by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, it seemed like a perfect fit. He was from Overton, Tennessee and played his entire college career for the Tennessee Volunteers. The guy is more Tennessee than Dolly Parton and Smokey.
In his first season in Minnesota, the state had its third highest snow total on record and Jackson played 18 total defensive snaps. “His knowledge of how all the pieces fit together grew and then he started to make plays,” Jones said. All that work mastering the whole playbook proved to be valuable quickly. In Week 2 against Philadelphia, Metellus got banged up and Jackson went in the game. He immediately picked off quarterback Jalen Hurts by being in the right place at the right time.
Last season the Vikings were already very strong at the safety position with All-Pro Harrison Smith and ascending safety Cam Bynum. Those two, Metellus and Jackson have gelled together and formed a unique bond. Jackson said that if you see one of them, the other three probably aren’t far behind.
