Alaric Jackson missed nine games last season after being diagnosed with blood clots, requiring medical treatment that caused him to be shut down for the year. He played eight games and made six starts, doing a nice job filling in as the Rams cycled through linemen due to various injuries.
Heading into the 2023 season, Jackson is in position to potentially start right out of the gate. He can play left tackle and either guard spot, which gives the Rams options up front.
Jackson could be to the Rams what Noteboom was from 2018-2021: a valuable swing tackle and versatile backup.
