Donovan Jackson
I thought the kid came in and had an admirable rook season...How high is up for Jackson?
Rookie Season Performance
Pass Protection: Performed well as a rookie, earning a 65.7 Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade (ranking 26th among qualified guards) and allowing just 2 sacks over 468 pass-block snaps.
Sports Illustrated +1
Run Blocking: Showed room for growth, finishing with a 57.2 run-blocking grade while missing three games mid-season due to wrist and ankle injuries.
Sports Illustrated +2
Accolades: Named by Pro Football Focus as the Minnesota Vikings most impactful rookie for the 2025 season after finishing strong and not allowing a sack in his final nine games.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Offensive linemen often make significant improvement from the first to second year. I know his head is in the right place and he had a pretty good first year for a rookie. I expect he will be very good for a long time if he remains healthy.
