Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died Sunday in a car accident

Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson died Sunday night in a car accident in Alabama. He was 36.

At the time of his death, Jackson was the quarterbacks coach at Tennessee State University.

Jackson was a second round draft pick in 2006 out of Alabama State. Entering the NFL, he first played for the Minnesota Vikings, and he helped the team to a 8-4 record that year.

Jackson earned a Super Bowl ring in 2013 with the Seattle Seahawks when he was the backup quarterback for Russell Wilson. He finished his NFL career in 2015, and soon after, he began coaching.

Jackson became a graduate assistant for Alabama State in 2018 and eventually moved to being the quarterbacks coach. He moved to Tennessee State last year.

Jackson will be missed by his fans, family, players and teammates.
