Later that year he spent time on and off the roster and practice squad of the New York Jets.

NOTES:
I had heard that Jackson wasn’t difficult to get if you could track him down, so I bode my time until the right moment and sent this one out to his work. His card went through a lot of revisions, before I came to this design but in the end I was happy with this result.
