Former Razorback lineman Keith Jackson Jr. was among three men and a woman arrested in a Little Rock narcotics bust, police announced this morning. Jackson was picked in the 2007 NFL draft, but never made it onto the roster of an NFL team. His father, a pro football star and Hog color commentator, is the founder of a Little Rock nonprofit that works with at-risk kids.

Jackson made no comment during a municipal court appearance this morning where a $50,000 bond was set. It hadn’t been posted as of 10:30 a.m., but he was still among the morning defendants being held for a return to the jail then. Two pounds of marijuana, 50 tabs of MDMA (Ecstasy) and a gram of cocaine were seized in the bust.
