Justin Jackson 2020 Outlook
The Chargers entered the 2019 season without Melvin Gordon on the active roster, as the star runner was engaged in an ill-advised holdout attempt to squeeze a long-term deal out of the club. The Chargers will enter the 2020 campaign without either Gordon or backfield-mate Philip Rivers. First man up to replace Gordon is obviously Austin Ekeler, the dual-threat back coming off a career year. Beyond that, it's fair to speculate whether Jackson or newcomer Joshua Kelley will be the thunder to Ekeler's lightning. As SI.com reminded readers, last season Jackson started off well before injuring his calf ahead of Week 4 posting 6-57, 7-59 and 5-26 numbers in those three games. And game flow will be an issue for whomever wins that complementary role behind Ekeler, whether it's Jackson or Kelley. The distinction of "starter" has long been a foreign concept when it comes to Chargers running backs, but right now Jackson's role feels less defined than that of Ekeler's or Kelley's. As CBSSports.com suggested, Jackson could become more of an afterthought on offense if Kelley lives up to expectations, even though the latter might ultimately see less time on the field to begin the season. HC Anthony Lynn seems to favor the rookie over Jackson; we have to concur.

Justin Jackson 2018 Outlook
Jackson is Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman's sleeper of the 2018 NFL Draft. According to Waldman, Jackson is an excellent running back who understands how to use his agility, acceleration, quickness, and leverage to set up blocks and work through and around contact. Waldman went on to suggest, "If he can shore up the tendency for focus drops and prove capable as a pass protector, Jackson could challenge Austin Ekeler for the No.2 role this year." Jackson left Northwestern as the most prolific running back in school history. In 2017, Jackson rushed for 1,311 yards with 11 touchdowns. Additionally, he hauled in 44 passes for 276 yards. He topped off the year with a 224-yard, three-score effort against Pitt where he showed off his quickness, vision, and efficient running style. As Waldman summed up: "He's a college workhorse with a sudden, versatile game that translates better than many expect. He lands more stiff-arms than the Heisman Trophy." Keep him on your waiver-wire watch list should something happen to Gordon.
