DeAndre Jackson

DeAndre Jackson (born April 16, 1993) is an American football Quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. He played college football at Kansas. The Seahawks signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2017.
==College Career==
Jackson began his college career at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri before transferring to the University of Kansas. He was the starting quarterback at Kansas from the beginning of the 2015 season until he was benched for Eric Jennings near the end of the 2016 season. He was often a better runner than a passer, recording 18 rushing touchdowns to 16 passing touchdowns for his career.
===2015===
Jackson was immediately named the starter for the 2015 season with the graduation of Christopher Brooks. After a disappointing 2-3 start to the season, the Jayhawks found new life under Jackson's leadership when he exploded for back-to-back 200-yard rushing games in a rout of TCU and an upset of then-#1 and eventual national champion Oklahoma. He threw 2 touchdown passes in Kansas's 24-21 win over #10 Oregon in the Alamo Bowl and would be named the game's MVP.
===2016===
In 2016, Kansas would not see the kind of success they'd become used to. Jackson struggled to find the endzone, Paul Gibbs struggled at halfback, and the defense never put it all together as Kansas limped to a 2-10 season. Jackson would play his final game as a Jayhawk in a 45-7 win against Iowa State on his senior night, after which Eric Jennings was named the starter going forward.

===Seattle Seahawks===
====2017====
After the draft, Jackson agreed to a two-year, $1 million non-guaranteed contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He spent the season as the third-string quarterback behind Alexander Williams and Joshua Andrews. The Seahawks would win the NFC West and advance as far as the Super Bowl before falling to the Miami Dolphins.
====2018====
Jackson was able to win the second string in his second season. With that role has come some playing time: he was a spot starter in a 41-7 win over Pittsburgh due to Alexander Williams's injury; he completed 18-36 passes for 196 yards, and a passing touchdown along with a rushing touchdown. He also threw a touchdown pass in mop-up duty against New Orleans.
