Jackson took the warmth in August for sharing a biblical quote that Kirk had published on his X account.

In the wake of Kirk’s murder, Jackson was not among those who shared a reaction. However, he shared the position of the Super Bowl Torrey Smith champion.
“Celebrating the death of someone you do not share the same beliefs as Wild,” wrote Smith on X. “Seeing him playing in real time is disgusting.”
