Running Back
No. 43
Western Kentucky
"A swift outside runner, Jackson gave the Jets speed in certain situations as a rookie. He provided a big play against Chicago when he scooped up a John Riggins fumble and took it 24 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Jazz played in every game except the opener (he was nursing bruised ribs) and received a starting nod against Houston; he carried seven times for 39 yards in that game and caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Joe Namath.
Jazz is a very muscular and durable runner despite his size. Drafted 16th in 1974, he has 4.5 speed with good acceleration off the ball.
His real name is Clarence but he prefers Jazz. He played on three OVC championship teams and is the shortest Jet ever. Jazz enjoys fishing and swimming. His hometown is Knoxville, Tennessee."
