Former Vikings QB Tavaris Jackson was killed last night in a car accident in Alabama per Ian Rapoport.

Jackson was drafted by the Vikings in the 2nd Round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Jackson started 20 games for the Vikings. He also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks, where he won a SB as a backup QB in 2013.

Jackson was currently serving as the QB Coach at Tennessee State. This sucks.

RIP T-Jack.

Brad Childress to me on passing of ex-#Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson: “Just a really good person. I thought he was a great teammate and he had a great way about him. He was never too high, never too low. I think it says something any time you’re able to have a 10-year NFL career.’’
