PFF’s Jim Wyman compiled this week’s PFF Team For the 11th NFL draft pick in the 2025 season. Jackson earned an impressive grade of 73.7 and was a top-three selection for interior offensive lineman.

He writes, “Jackson continues to be a bright spot on the Vikings’ offensive line, particularly in pass protection: Sunday marked his third straight game in which that grade exceeded 70.0. Week 11 was Jackson’s best appearance of the group, as he earned an 82.9 PFF pass-blocking grade — and gave up just one pressure on 33 pass-blocking snaps.”

Jackson has shown he can be one of the best players in the 2025 rookie class. The Vikings hit the penalty kill with him and when he is healthy and in the lineup this offense is better as a result.
