Hello everyone, my name is Malik Jackson. I am a proud product of the San Fernando Valley, growing up in Northridge and attending Kittridge Street Elementary, Nobel Middle School, and Birmingham High School. After high school, I attended the University of Southern California for two years before transferring to the University of Tennessee to complete my collegiate career.

In 2012, I was fortunate to be the 137th pick in the NFL Draft, where I played for 10 seasons, participating in two Super Bowls, winning one, and earning a trip to the Pro Bowl. In 2022, I retired to become a full-time father to my daughter and to launch a company called The Care League. We empower retired athletes to thrive in their next chapter by providing a supportive community that addresses their unique challenges. Our platform, built on white glove service, connects members with valuable resources and expert advice tailored to their needs.
