Running back Steven Jackson made countless plays over the course of his career as a Ram.

He made an impact from the time he entered the league as a first-round pick out of Oregon State. He rushed for 673 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie in 2004 — helping the Rams secure a playoff berth and defeat the Seahawks in the Wild Card round.

From there, Jackson recorded eight consecutive seasons with 1,000 yards rushing from 2005-2012 — his last season with the club. In the process, Jackson became the Rams’ all-time leading rusher with 10,138 yards in 131 games.

Now as the Rams continue their 2019 training camp, Jackson has signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the organization.

It’s fitting for someone who has meant so much to the franchise. And as No. 18 in all-time rushing yards — one of just 21 players to eclipse 11,000 — Jackson has a case to eventually be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

SJ39 was the lifeline during the Rams deep depression years. He kept me sain watching Rams football which is saying a lot. He is the type of player that you want to have around the organization for the rest of his life. He is a person young players can look up to.

I was so stoked when the Rams signed him. I got to watch him play in college in that OSU was our "local" college team and my son had his eyes set on going to the school for engineering - which he did before joining the Air Force.

The guy was a great Ram and truly a beast.
