Austin Jackson’s journey with the Miami Dolphins has been quite a rollercoaster ride since being drafted 18th overall in the 2020 season. After being experimented with different positions in his first two seasons, he found his footing as a starter at Left Guard in 2021, playing in all 16 games. However, his progress hit a roadblock in the 2022 season due to injuries, which led to him being placed on the Injury Reserve for most of the season. Despite the setbacks, Jackson displayed resilience and determination by making a successful comeback in the 2023 season, where he started all 17 games at Right Tackle. This consistency in position allowed him to showcase his skills effectively, contributing significantly to Miami’s offensive success. The team achieved remarkable milestones, setting records for points scored (70), total yards gained (726, an NFL record), and rushing yards (350), all while not conceding a single sack.
Heading into the 2024 season, Jackson aims to build upon his previous successes and continue his upward trajectory, playing a pivotal role in bolstering the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line. With his demonstrated talent and newfound consistency, Jackson is poised to make a significant impact, helping the Dolphins emerge as strong contenders in the league.
