Jackson did a backflip to celebrate his forced turnover that led to a touchdown on the Ravens' ensuing drive. The backflip has become Jackson's signature move. His latest one was smoother than the previous week against the Miami Dolphins, when Special Teams Coach Chris Horton jokingly criticized Jackson's form.
"If you're going to flip, make sure you stick the landing," Horton said with a chuckle.
In addition to sticking backflips, Jackson is sticking opponents on kickoff and punt coverage with six tackles in four games. His speed and tackling ability are helping Baltimore take its special teams play to another level.
Head Coach John Harbaugh loves the physicality that Jackson plays with at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds.
"He has some unique skills," Harbaugh said. "He's a big rangy, fast, explosive athlete who is certainly not afraid to throw it in there and mix it up, which he does at a high level.
"I think he's a football player, and he proves that. He has an infectious personality and high energy. To see it show up on the field the way it has is a great thing to see, and he's building a resume, but now the standard keeps going up for him, and he's raising the bar for himself, which is awesome."
Having a nose for the football is something Jackson has worked on, and he's glad to see it pay dividends.
"The brown thing is a real big target," Jackson said. "Just getting my hand in there when I'm going in for the tackle, we practice that every week. That's been my emphasis lately, get a turnover."
