2011 NFL Draft
Along with David Arkin, Ben Ijalana, and Brandon Fusco, Rackley was considered one of the best small-school offensive line prospects. He was drafted with the 76th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Rackley played 15 games in his rookie season, including 14 starts at left guard.

In the 2012 preseason, starting right tackle Eben Britton was moved to Rackley's position of left guard. Rackley was expected to contribute as a backup guard and center before suffering an injury. Rackley spent the 2012 season on injured reserve.
