College career


Jackson attended Florida State University and was a Human Science Major and a letterman in football. In football, he was named as an All-Atlantic Coast Conference as a junior, and he finished his college football career with 194 tackles, 7 interceptions, 16 passes defensed, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and blocked four field goals.[citation needed]


Professional career



First stint with Buccaneers


Jackson was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round (113th overall) of the 1999 NFL draft. He made his NFL debut versus the Denver Broncos.[citation needed]

Jackson was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVII, recording two interceptions.[1] He was the first safety to win the award since Jake Scott in 1973, the third defensive back overall (joining Scott and Larry Brown).[citation needed]


Arizona Cardinals


The Super Bowl win came just before Jackson declared for free agency. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a verbal agreement to sign Jackson; however, he backed out at the last minute and signed with the Arizona Cardinals instead.[2] The Steelers then went to "Plan B" and drafted Troy Polamalu.[3]


Second stint with Buccaneers


Jackson rejoined the Buccaneers in 2004, and played with them until the end of the 2005 season.


Cincinnati Bengals


Before the 2006 season Jackson signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as a free agent. He played three seasons with the team before being released on March 6, 2009.


Florida Tuskers


Jackson finished his professional career with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League. Jackson was among several former Buccaneers on the Tuskers' inaugural roster and played for the team for the 2009 season before retiring.[citation needed]


Coaching career


Jackson has coached in the greater Atlanta area with CoachUp, a private coaching service.[4][better source needed]


Broadcasting career


On September 19, 2011, Dexter Jackson and former World Boxing Organization cruiserweight world champion Tyrone Booze began a new radio show called "All Sports" with Randy Harris on Clearwater, Florida's WTAN AM 1340.[5][better source needed] The show has also aired on WDCF, WZHR and online on the Talking Sports Network.[6]
