New England Patriots

On the first day of the 2006 NFL Draft, the Patriots traded draft picks with the Green Bay Packers to move up sixteen places (from the Patriots' 52nd to the Packers' 36th) in the second round to select Jackson, giving up a third-round pick (75th overall) acquired in a trade. Jackson played for the Patriots in 2006 and 2007.^[5]

Jackson missed the entire 2006 preseason with a hamstring injury;^[6] his first NFL game was in Week 2 of the 2006 season against the New York Jets, in which he caught two passes for a total of 42 yards; one of those was a 13-yard touchdown.

In Week 4, he caught two passes for a total of nine yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. His performance was limited due to his nagging hamstring injury.^[6] In Week 7, at Buffalo, Jackson recorded his fifth catch of the season, a 35-yard touchdown reception from Tom Brady in the third quarter. A few weeks later, Jackson suffered a groin injury and missed back-to-back games in December.^[6] Jackson finished his rookie season with 13 catches for 152 yards, six first downs and three touchdowns, and a hamstring injury.

In the 2006 AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts, Jackson suffered a torn ACL and was placed on the Patriots' Physically Unable to Perform list prior to the 2007 season. He was activated from the PUP on November 7, 2007, but was active for only four of the Patriots' remaining games, finishing the season with one catch for 19 yards. Jackson was active for the Patriots' first playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but was a healthy inactive for their next two games, the AFC Championship and Super Bowl XLII.

On August 31, 2008, Jackson was released by the Patriots a day after the deadline for cutting rosters down to 53 players.

Denver Broncos

Jackson was signed by the Denver Broncos on October 27, 2008. During the 2008 season, he played in four games, making one catch for 19 yards and returning eight kickoffs (all on the same day, to tie a franchise record) for a combined 162 yards. As in 2008, Jackson made the Broncos' 53-man roster as of September 5, 2009, but was released by the Broncos two days later.

Buffalo Bills

Jackson signed with the Buffalo Bills on March 31, 2010. He was released on September 4, 2010.^[7]

Omaha Nighthawks

Jackson was signed by the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League on June 29, 2011.^[8]

Oakland Raiders

On August 6, 2011, Jackson signed with the Oakland Raiders. Jackson was waived on September 3, 2011.
