The Miami Dolphins’ quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, has praised 24-year-old Austin Jackson. Jackson was drafted in 2020 by the Dolphins, often known to reward young talent. After three years, the Dolphins have extended his contract.

Austin Jackson had a horrendous last season. After just two games, he was ruled out because of a season-ending leg injury. Coming into this season, Jackson displayed tremendous capabilities. All the noise surrounding his future has died down, and fans have started talking about the exciting prospects he can bring to any team’s offense. Rightly noticing the same, the Dolphins have extended his contract by three years and secured the deal at a whopping $36 million.
