Cornerback
No. 22
Pacific
"Jackson was a No. 9 draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1971, then was part of the trade that sent Duane Thomas to the New England Patriots temporarily. Jackson, however, remained with the Patriots but was inactive in 1971. He appeared in 14 games in 1972 and had four interceptions for 133 yards returned. He came to the Giants on waivers in 1973 after playing seven games with the Pats and got into two games with New York. This past year, he played in 11 games, mostly as a special team player.
Honor starred at Marin Junior College, then moved on to Pacific where he was a wide receiver, winning All-League honors. He also lettered in track as a dashman with a 9.5 in the 100 and 21.2 in the 220.
Jackson was born in New Orleans but grew up in Mill Valley, California where he starred at Tamalpais High School. He's worked as a youth counsellor in off-seasons."
