Tarvaris Jackson: 2006 Vikings pick, Super Bowl XLVIII winner
Tarvaris Jackson was born on April 21, 1983, in Montgomery, Alabama. He played for Arkansas before transferring to Alabama State, where he was second-team All-SWAC in 2005. The Minnesota Vikings took him 64th overall in the 2006 NFL draft, and Madden NFL 07 rated him 72 overall for that rookie season.
Jackson started 12 games in 2007 and opened 2008 as Minnesota's starter before being benched after two games; Madden NFL 09 carried him at 79 for that season, his highest. He returned in Week 15, threw four touchdown passes against Arizona and took NFC Offensive Player of the Week honours, then started the wild-card loss to Philadelphia in January 2009. Brett Favre's arrival pushed him back to the bench, and Madden NFL 10 listed him at 67 for 2009.
He signed with Seattle in July 2011 and started 14 games for 3,091 yards and 14 touchdowns. Madden NFL 13 carried him at 77 for 2012, a season he spent on Buffalo's roster without playing. Jackson returned to Seattle in 2013 and played the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl XLVIII win over Denver as Russell Wilson's backup. He threw for 7,263 yards with 39 touchdowns and 35 interceptions in 59 NFL games. Jackson was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Pike Road, Alabama, on April 12, 2020, at the age of 36.
