Jackson has been a tremendous player on Oakland’s offensive line since being selected in the third round out of Mississippi State back in 2014. Since then, he’s started 44 games and has been getting better every year.
The next player on Oakland’s radar is absolutely Khalil Mack, who is due for a monster payday.
