Kareem Jackson (born April 10, 1988) is an American football safety for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He has also played for the Denver Broncos. He played college football at Alabama. Jackson was drafted by the Houston Texans in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft.

High school career[edit]

Jackson attended Westside High School in Macon, Georgia.[1] As a senior, he mainly played running back and compiled 1,436 rushing yards with 20 rushing touchdowns, and nine receptions for 256 yards with two receiving touchdowns.

Following high school, Jackson attended Fork Union Military Academy, where he converted from running back to cornerback.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com,[2] Jackson was listed as the No. 17 prep school prospect in 2007.[2]

College career[edit]

As a true freshman, Jackson played in 13 games with 12 starts for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He ranked second on the team with three interceptions on the season and was fourth for pass breakups with four. Jackson recorded 66 tackles on the season, which was fifth-best on the team. He subsequently received Freshman All-American honors.

Jackson was eighth on the team in tackles with 44 (including 28 solo) as a sophomore in 2008. He registered ten pass breakups on the year with one interception.

As a junior in 2009, Jackson started in all 14 games and had the fifth-most tackles on the team (49). He made one interception and broke up 13 passes during the 2009 season.

On January 15, 2010, Jackson declared he would forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.[3]

Professional career[edit]

Coming out of Alabama, Jackson was invited to the NFL Combine and completed the entire workout and all required drills. He was satisfied with his combine performance and chose to only partake in positional drills at Alabama's Pro Day. After he performed well, he was projected by the majority of analysts and scouts to be drafted in the first or second round. In a deep cornerback draft, he was ranked the fifth-best cornerback and 32nd overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com.[4] He was listed as the fourth-best cornerback on WalterFootball.com's scouting report.[5] Sports Illustrated also listed him as the fourth-best cornerback in the draft, behind Joe Haden, Kyle Wilson, and Devin McCourty.[6]

On July 30, 2010, the Texans signed him to a five-year, $13.52 million contract that includes $7.36 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $875,500.[10][11]

Jackson entered his rookie training camp as the starting right cornerback opposite veteran Glover Quin.[12] The former made his professional regular season debut in Houston's season-opener against the Indianapolis Colts, recording four solo tackles and a pass deflection in the 34–24 victory. On October 10, he recorded five solo tackles and his first career interception off quarterback Eli Manning, returning it for 23 yards in the 34–10 loss to the New York Giants.[13] The following week, Jackson racked up a season-high seven combined tackles in a 35–32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 9 against the San Diego Chargers, he made six combined tackles and intercepted quarterback Philip Rivers in a 29–23 loss. On December 13, he had a season-high six solo tackles in a 34–28 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson finished his rookie season with a career-high 71 combined tackles, 10 pass deflections, and two interceptions, while starting in all 16 regular season games.[14] The Texans finished 6–10 and were ranked last in the league in passing defense.[15] Football Outsiders ranked Jackson 68th (47%) in success rating and PFF gave him a -10.3 in pass coverage. His average QB rating for opposing quarterbacks was 111.8.[16]

2011[edit]

Jackson entered training camp in 2011 competing with Johnathan Joseph, Jason Allen, and Brice McCain to retain the starting cornerback position. New defensive coordinator Wade Phillips named Jackson the left cornerback to start the regular season opposite newly-signed Joseph.[17]

In the Texans' season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, Jackson made one tackle as the Texans routed the Colts 34–7. The following week, he was demoted to backup and Jason Allen was given the start. Allen showed good coverage, played well, and made a game-sealing interception in a 17–10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4; Jackson was inactive for this game.[18] However, Jackson reclaimed his starting position in Week 6. He finished the game with four solo tackles in a 29–14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. On November 6, 2011, Jackson recorded a season-high six solo tackles and a pass deflection in a 30-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns.[14] On December 4, he made three solo tackles and two pass deflections, and intercepted quarterback Matt Ryan for his lone interception of the season in a 17–10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He finished the season with 42 combined tackles (37 solo), a forced fumble, an interception, and six deflected passes in 15 games with 13 starts.[19]

The Houston Texans finished the 2011 season with a 10– 6 record and received a playoff berth. On January 7, 2012, Jackson appeared in his first career postseason game and made four combined tackles in a 31–10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC wild card game. The following game, he recorded four solo tackles and deflected a pass in a 20–13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round.[14] Jackson received a coverage rating of -9.5 from PFF and was ranked 67th (45%) in success rate among qualified cornerbacks by Football Outsiders.[16]

2012[edit]

Jackson entered the 2012 season slated as the starting cornerback along with Joseph. He started in the Texans' season opener against the Miami Dolphins and finished the 30–10 victory with five combined tackles, two pass deflections, and intercepted quarterback Ryan Tannehill's pass after it was tipped by J. J. Watt.[20] On September 23, 2012, Jackson recorded a season-high seven solo tackles, an assisted tackle, and deflected a pass in a 31–25 win over the Denver Broncos. The following week, he made two solo tackles, deflected two passes, and intercepted Tennessee Titans' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, returning it 63 yards for his first career touchdown; the Texans routed the Titans 38–14.[21]

In Week 5, he had one tackle and intercepted a pass from quarterback Mark Sanchez in a 23–17 win over the New York Jets. It was Jackson's first time with back-to-back interceptions in two consecutive games.[22] On December 30, he had a season-high eight combined tackles and a pass deflection in a 28–16 loss to the Colts. He finished the 2012 regular season with 53 combined tackles (47 solo), a career-high 16 pass deflections, a career-high four interceptions, and a touchdown, in 16 games with 15 starts.[14] Houston finished first in the AFC South with a 12-4 record, but were eliminated from the playoffs after losing to the New England Patriots in the Divisional round.

Jackson had the best statistical season of his career in 2012. In comparison, Johnathan Joseph was named to the Pro Bowl, although he had only five more combined tackles than Jackson, and had two interceptions to Jackson's four. He was ranked the seventh-best cornerback in coverage rating (+13.4) according to Pro Football Focus. Football Outsiders Almanac 2013 ranked him twelfth in success rate (59%) among all qualified cornerbacks and the QB rating for opposing quarterbacks targeting Jackson was an average of 69.6.[16]

2013[edit]

Jackson and Joseph returned in 2013 as the Houston Texans' starting cornerback duo. He started the season off with three solo tackles in the Texans' season-opening 31–28 victory over the San Diego Chargers. The following game, Jackson recorded a season-high six solo tackles and made two pass deflections in a 30–24 win against the Titans.[14] During the third quarter, Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness after hitting Titans' receiver Kendall Wright, who was deemed a defenseless receiver at the time. Three days later, the NFL fined the former $42,000 for the hit, as it was deemed "dirty", and Wright was diagnosed with a concussion.[23] Jackson missed Weeks 11 and 12 after suffering a fractured rib that limited his ability to play.[24]

Jackson finished the season with 56 combined tackles and nine deflected passes in 14 games and starts.[14] PFF gave him a -4.3 pass coverage grade and he allowed a 106.1 QBR. He was ranked 81st (42%) in success rate by Football Outsiders.[16] The Houston Texans finished the season with a 2–14 record; head coach Gary Kubiak was fired in Week 15.

2014[edit]

Jackson started the 2014 season-opener against the Washington Redskins and made eight combined tackles in the 17–6 victory. The next week, he made two solo tackles and intercepted rookie quarterback Derek Carr, returning it 65 yards, in a 30–14 victory over the Oakland Raiders.[25] On October 5, 2014, he recorded a season-high nine combined tackles during a 20–17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. On December 21, Jackson made one solo tackle and intercepted Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco twice as the Texans defeated the Ravens 25–13. He finished the first season under the Texans' new head coach Bill O'Brien with 56 combined (46 solo) tackles, nine pass deflections, and three interceptions in 13 games with as many starts.[14]

2015[edit]

Jackson became an unrestricted free agent during the 2015 off-season and was one of the top free agent cornerbacks.[16]

On March 7, 2015, the Texans signed Jackson to a four-year, $34 million contract with $20 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $9 million.[26]

Entering training camp, he faced competition from first-round rookie Kevin Johnson, but Jackson and Joseph were able to retain their starting roles entering the regular season.[27] Jackson started in the Texans' season-opener and made six solo tackles in a 27–20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. On October 18, Jackson made one solo tackle and left in the second quarter for the rest of the game with a left ankle injury; the Texans won 31–20 over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed the next four games due to the injury.[28] On November 29, he returned and made four combined tackles, a pass deflection, and intercepted New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees in a 24–6 victory. In Week 14, Jackson racked up a season-high nine solo tackles and a pass deflection in a 27–6 loss to the New England Patriots. On January 3. 2016, he made three solo tackles, intercepted quarterback Blake Bortles, and returned it for a 27-yard game-sealing touchdown as the Texans routed the Jaguars 30–6.[29] He finished the season with 58 combined tackles (52 solo), six pass deflections, two interceptions, and a touchdown in 12 games with 10 starts.

Houston finished with a 9–7 record and finished first in the AFC South. In the AFC wild card game, Jackson made seven combined tackles and deflected a pass as they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 30–0.

2016[edit]

For the sixth consecutive season, he and Joseph retained their starting roles to begin the 2016 regular season. Jackson started the season-opener and made five combined tackles in a 23–14 win against the Chicago Bears. He missed Weeks 5 and 6 with a hamstring injury.[30] On November 13, 2016, Jackson recorded six solo tackles and intercepted quarterback Bortles, returning it for a 42-yard touchdown in a 24–21 victory over the Jaguars. This was his second consecutive season with a pick-six off of Bortles.[31] During a Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, Jackson made a season-high eight combined tackles in a 22–17 victory. He finished the season with 62 combined tackles (51 solo), four pass deflections, an interception, and a touchdown in 14 games with 13 starts.[14]

After the Texans finished first in the AFC South with a 9–7 record (for the second consecutive season), Jackson made four combined tackles in a 27–14 Wild Card Round victory over the Oakland Raiders. They went on to the Divisional Round, where Houston lost 34–16 to the Super Bowl LI-winning New England Patriots; Jackson made another four combined tackles in the game.

2017[edit]

Throughout training camp, Jackson faced stiff competition from third-year Kevin Johnson. The former was ultimately surpassed on the depth chart and was named the Texans' slot cornerback to begin the regular season behind starting outside cornerbacks Johnson and Joseph.

During Houston's 7–29 season-opening loss to the Jaguars, Jackson recorded six combined tackles. On September 14, Jackson caused Cincinnati Bengals' rookie wide receiver John Ross to fumble, which teammate Jadeveon Clowney recovered and returned for 49 yards to set up the Texans' offense on a field goal scoring drive.[32] He was thrown into the starting lineup after Joseph left in the second quarter with a shoulder injury, and Johnson left after suffering a MCL sprain. Jackson led the Texans with seven combined tackles and had his first career sack on Bengals' quarterback Andy Dalton. Jackson remained a starter in the absence of Johnson, who was ruled out for four-to-six weeks.[33]

2018[edit]

In the offseason following organized team activities, HC O'Brien announced that Jackson would be moved to free safety full-time.[34] The move was made after Jackson's struggles at cornerback the previous season, and starting free safety Andre Hal was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.[35]

Despite this statement, Jackson started in all 16 games at right cornerback alongside Joseph at left cornerback in 2018; third-round rookie Justin Reid was free safety for the season, and Johnson only played in one game that season after suffering a concussion in the season opener.

Denver Broncos[edit]

2019[edit]

On March 13, 2019, Jackson signed a three-year $33 million deal with the Denver Broncos.[36][37] In week 6 against the Tennessee Titans, Jackson recorded an interception off Ryan Tannehill in the 16–0 win. This was his first interception of the season and as a member of the Broncos.[38] In week 14 against his former team, the Houston Texans, Jackson recorded 11 tackles, intercepted a pass thrown by Deshaun Watson, received a lateral from teammate Jeremiah Attaochu who recovered a fumble lost by Keke Coutee and returned the ball for a 70 yard touchdown during the 38–24 win, earning him AFC Defensive Player of the Week.[39][40] On December 17, 2019, Jackson was suspended for the final two games of the 2019 season. The suspension stemmed from a September arrest for DUI.[41] He was reinstated from suspension on December 30, 2019.

2020[edit]

In Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Jackson recovered a fumble lost by Darren Waller and later intercepted a pass thrown by Derek Carr during the 32–31 loss.[42]

2021[edit]

On March 17, 2021, the Broncos declined the option on Jackson's contract, making him an unrestricted free agent. On March 24, 2021, Jackson signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Broncos.[43][44]

2022[edit]

On April 11, 2022, Jackson signed a one-year deal with the Broncos.[45]

2023[edit]

On May 15, 2023, Jackson re-signed with the Broncos on another one-year contract.[46] Jackson received a $14,819 fine for an illegal hit on Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in the Week 1 game.[47] In the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders, he was ejected after an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit against tight end Logan Thomas resulting in the latter getting a concussion.[48] His hit on Thomas resulted in a $19,669 fine.[49] Jackson received a third fine for $11,473 for unnecessary roughness in the Week 3 loss to the Miami Dolphins.[50] The league issued him a fine for $43,709, Jackson's fourth for the season, for unnecessary roughness based on a late hit he did on the Thursday Night Football loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.[51] Following his second game ejection in Week 7 for a hit on a defenseless receiver on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave, the NFL suspended Jackson for four games.[52] The league reduced the suspension to two games after Jackson appealed.[53] In his first game back from suspension, Jackson had an illegal hit against Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Despite not being penalized in the game, the NFL clarified that Jackson's hit was illegal due to him lowering the crown of his helmet before the hit and issued him a second suspension for four games the next day.[54] The NFL denied Jackson's appeal for his second suspension upholding their original four-game sentence.[55] The Broncos waived Jackson on December 25, 2023.[56]

Houston Texans (second stint)[edit]

On December 26, 2023, Jackson was claimed off waivers by the Houston Texans.[57]

Jackson and head coach Demeco Ryans were teammates on the Texans during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.[58]
