Former Alabama Star DB Signs with Ravens

Eddie Jackson is one of many former Alabama defensive backs in the NFL, and he is set to join another member of the Crimson Tide's 2015 National Championship team.

The former Alabama safety is expected to sign with the Baltimore Ravens, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Jackson will join Marlon Humphrey, Derrick Henry, Jalyn Armour-Davis, and Darrien Dalcourt as former Alabama players who are members of the Ravens.

Jackson played at Alabama from 2013 to 2016. During his time in college, Jackson totaled 130 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 12 pass breakups, nine interceptions, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and three defensive touchdowns. The Chicago Bears drafted him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft.

Jackson spent seven seasons in Chicago, totaling 459 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 15 interceptions, 44 passes defended, 10 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, two sacks, and three defensive touchdowns. Jackson is a two-time Pro Bowler in Chicago in 2018 and 2019. He was named AP First-Team All-Pro in 2018.

Jackson will likely be depth in Chicago or a rotational third safety, with the Ravens starting veterans Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton in the secondary. He reunites with Roquan Smith, who was traded from Chicago to Baltimore last season.
