Keith Jackson (tight end)
Keith Jerome Jackson (born April 19, 1965) is an American former professional football tight end who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Philadelphia Eagles (1988–1991), Miami Dolphins (1992–1994), and Green Bay Packers (1995–1996). He played college football for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Jackson was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He attended Little Rock Parkview High School and garnered All-State team honors on offense (tight end) and defense (safety). He was named to the 1983 Parade All-American Team. In 2011, Parade named Jackson to the Top Parade All-America High School Football Players of All Time.
Jackson played for the University of Oklahoma from 1984 to 1987, where he was nicknamed "Boomer Sooner". The Sooners had a 42–5–1 record in his four seasons and won a national championship in 1985. Jackson caught a total of 62 passes for 1,407 yards, at an average of 23.7 yards per catch, and was a College Football All-America Team selection in 1985, 1986, and 1987.
In the 1986 Orange Bowl, played for the national championship, Jackson caught a 71-yard pass from Jamelle Holieway for a touchdown, the first of his team's two touchdowns in the Sooners' victory over Penn State.
Jackson was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001. He was later voted Offensive Player of the Century at the University of Oklahoma.
He is also a member of Omega Psi Phi.
Jackson, as well as teammates Holieway and Brian Bosworth all openly admitted to accepting illegal payments during their time at OU. It was one of the main reasons why Jackson chose Oklahoma over his homestate Arkansas Razorbacks.
After being drafted 13th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the 1988 NFL draft, Jackson recorded 81 receptions for 869 yards, and 6 touchdowns in his first season, along with seven catches for 142 yards in the Eagles' only playoff game that year, and won the NFC Rookie of the Year award. The Eagles team record of 869 receiving yards in Jackson's rookie season was broken by DeSean Jackson in 2008, who also became the first rookie since Keith Jackson to lead the team in receptions. In 1992, Jackson was part of a lawsuit to challenge the "Plan B" form of free agency (filing the suit in federal court), which let each team protect 37 players in a limited form of free agency. When the lawsuit was ruled in favor of the filers, Jackson was declared a free agent immediately.
