Tarvaris Jackson — who famously backed up Russell Wilson in Super Bowl XLVIII — has died in a car crash.
He was only 36.
We’re told Jackson was involved in a wreck in Alabama, where he grew up.
Recently, he had been working as a quarterbacks coach for the Tennessee State football team.
Jackson was a stud football player in high school — and later played at Arkansas before transferring to Alabama State, where he balled out for 3 seasons.
The Minnesota Vikings selected Jackson in the 2nd round of the 2006 NFL Draft, with head coach Brad Childress calling the QB a “diamond in the rough.”
Jackson spent 4 years in Minnesota before signing with the Seahawks, Bills … and then a 2nd stint with the Seahawks, where he served as Wilson’s backup until 2015.
