The Tennessee Titans rookie class has been solid in the first quarter of the 2024 season. Not only has first-round tackle JC Latham and second-round defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat made an immediate impact, one of their late round selections is excelling as well.
Wide receiver Jha’Quan Jackson, a sixth-round selection from Tulane, has also made an impact. Jackson earned his first nomination for the NFL.com Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week Award after putting up 157 return yards against the Bears in the season opener and has continued to put up solid numbers in the return game.

Jackson sits in the Top 10 in both return categories through four weeks. He is third in kickoff returns, averaging 26.8 yards per return, and 10th in punt returns, with a 9.7 yards per return average.
While the explosive playmaker has yet to make an impact on offense, his efforts should not go unnoticed as he attempts to break into the wide receiver rotation.
