Rams News: Trishton Jackson Makes Viking Roster As Former Rams Receiver Shines in Preseason
Trishton Jackson has secured a spot on the Minnesota Vikings' roster after a standout preseason performance. The former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver is now just a step away from potentially starting for the team.
Jackson first made headlines four years ago when he impressed the Rams enough to earn a place on their final 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie. While many undrafted players often find themselves relegated to special teams or practice squads, Jackson has managed to carve out a path that could lead to a more significant role with the Vikings.
During the preseason, Jackson showcased his skills by leading all players with three touchdown receptions and finishing with 154 receiving yards, ranking him among the top performers in the league. His ability to make plays has put him in contention for the Vikings' third receiver position, especially if the team needs a boost on offense.
Despite spending most of his time on the practice squad since joining the Vikings in 2021, Jackson's perseverance has paid off. He has appeared in seven games for Minnesota, catching two passes for nine yards. However, with injuries common in the NFL, Jackson is poised to step up when the opportunity arises.
The Vikings' current roster indicates that Jackson is ready to make an impact. If called upon, he could become a key contributor in the Vikings' offense, especially given the uncertainty surrounding other receivers on the team. Jackson's journey from undrafted rookie to a potential starter is a testament to his hard work and determination.
