Jalen Jackson Stats & Bio | Jaguars Running Back

About Jalen Jackson

Jalen Jackson serves as a dynamic running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, wearing #36 as he powers through defensive lines with his compact 5'9", 216-pound frame. Born in 2000, the young rusher brings explosive energy and versatility to the Jaguars' backfield. Jackson honed his skills at Villanova University, where he emerged as a standout performer before entering the NFL. His low center of gravity and powerful lower body make him particularly effective in short-yardage situations, while his vision allows him to find gaps other backs might miss. What truly distinguishes Jackson is his combination of speed and power - unexpected from his height but maximized by his solid build. Though still developing at the professional level, Jackson's determination and work ethic have quickly earned him respect from teammates and coaches as he establishes himself as a valuable contributor to Jacksonville's offense.
