New Titans DBs coach Steve Jackson: 3 things to know

As a player, Jackson was a third-round pick of the Houston Oilers in the 1991 NFL draft and spent his entire nine-year career with the franchise. He played the last snaps of his career in Super Bowl XXXIV with the Titans.

After making stops as a coach with the Buffalo Bills, Washington and Detroit Lions, Jackson returned to Nashville as the team’s assistant defensive backs coach in 2016, a title he held for two seasons.

From there, he went on to serve as the assistant defensive backs coach for the New York Jets (2018-19) and the secondary coach for the Cincinnati Bengals (2020-21) before landing with the Falcons, a team that was coached by ex-Titans offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith.
