Professional career

BC Lions

Ernest Jackson had a breakout season with the BC Lions in 2014 and was named CFL Offensive Player of the Month for October of the 2014 season.^[2]

Ottawa Redblacks

On February 10, 2015 Jackson signed with the Ottawa Redblacks.^[3] the Redblacks were coming off their inaugural season in which their receiving corps struggled mightily. In his first two seasons in Ottawa, Jackson played a major role in the offense; he was named the East Division finalist for Most Outstanding Player of the year award following the 2016 regular season.^[4] Jackson finished the season with ten receiving touchdowns, tied for the second-most in the league.^[5] In the 2016 Grey Cup, Jackson scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime against the Calgary Stampeders. Following the 2016 season he was not re-signed by the Redblacks and became a free-agent.

Montreal Alouettes

Jackson was considered one of the best free agent wide receivers and signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes (CFL) on February 16, 2017.^[6] In two seasons, Jackson never missed a game, and put up 112 catches for 1,409 yards and 7 majors, while the Alouettes struggled with records of 3–15 in 2017 and 5–13 in 2018. In January 2019, he signed a contract extension with Montreal.^[7] He was released just prior to training camp for the 2019 season on May 19, 2019.^[8]
