After a career that spanned a decade and included stops at four different NFL franchises, Malik Jackson has officially announced his retirement.

The former Jaguars defensive tackle recently confirmed he was hanging up his cleats after sitting out the entirety of the 2022 season. Selected in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Jackson outplayed his draft position and then some. A four-year spell in Denver saw him gradually assume a starting job on the defensive line, and culminated in a fairytale run to the Super Bowl - in which Jackson scored a touchdown, scooping up a Cam Newton fumble in the endzone.
