Pro
2009 outlook: Somehow, somebody other than Ryan Grant must provide reliable production out of the backfield. Entering training camp, Jackson (5-10, 216) again will be the favorite to be the No. 2 halfback. Jackson had a few moments when he looked like the second-round pick he was back in 2006. He averaged a glittering 5.5 yards per carry last season, including seven carries for 61 yards and one touchdown at Detroit in Week 2, 10 carries for 50 yards in a win vs. Chicago in Week 10 and 11 carries for 80 yards in Week 13 vs. Carolina. However, he averaged less than six touches in his 13 games, showing that he hasn’t earned the coaches’ trust. The Packers need him to be more consistent, a better blocker and more elusive out of the backfield, where he averaged just 6.2 yards on 30 receptions.
2007: Started the team’s first three games before sustaining a shin injury, which caused him to miss the next four games. At the time he was averaging just 2.6 yards per carry and did not seem very comfortable in the offense. ... Finished the season strong, however, rushing for 113 yards on 20 carries against the Detroit Lions in the season finale. ... Had 267 yards on 75 carries for the regular season, raising his average per carry to 3.6 yards. ... Had a team-high four special teams tackles against the Seahawks in the Divisional playoff. ... Selected in second round of NFL draft by Green Bay Packers (63rd overall) on April 28.
College
All-Conference selection last season after starting nine games and totaling 188/989/8 rushing with 33/313/2 receiving.
