Longtime NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died Sunday night in a car crash, according to NFL Network. He was 36 years old.
Jackson played 10 seasons in the NFL, including stints as the starter for the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks. He spent five seasons with the Vikings, who drafted him in the second round out of Alabama State in 2006. He helped lead Minnesota to the NFC North title in 2008.
Jackson was Seattle’s starter in 2011, had a stint with the Buffalo Bills and then returned to Seattle to serve as Russell Wilson’s backup from 2013 to 2015.
A few years after retiring, Jackson began his coaching career. He first worked as a graduate assistant at Alabama State before landing the quarterbacks coach job at Tennessee State. He was entering his second season at TSU.
