91. Keith Jackson

It might be hard to be named Keith Jackson when a very famous sports commentator with the same name had already become the voice of the sport. The Tight End with the same name still managed to carve out his own identity.

Jackson took the football landscape by storm in his rookie year, catching 81 passes. He never reached that level again, but he remained among the league’s top tight ends and earned five Pro Bowl selections. He was at his best when the pressure was on, and his star shone brightly in the playoffs. As a clutch receiver, Jackson was often a favorite target when needed most. He cemented his fine career in his final season with a Super Bowl Ring as a member of the Green Bay Packers.

Keith Jackson had a very solid career, but he is one of many talented Tight Ends on the outside looking in.
