Michael Dwayne Jackson (born April 12, 1969 in Tangipahoa, Louisiana) is a former American professional football player who was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the sixth round of the 1991 NFL Draft. A 6'4", 195 lbs. wide receiver from The University of Southern Mississippi, Jackson played in eight NFL seasons from 1991-1998 for the Browns and the Baltimore Ravens. Injuries eventually cut his career short and forced him to retire at the age of 29.

In 1993, Jackson changed his name to Dyson. Although, his legal last name was always Dyson, he was partial to using Jackson. He changed his name, when the NFL regulated numbers for positions and forced him to lose number 1 for number 81. After the first week of the season, he changed his name back to Jackson.

In 1996, Jackson was tied with San Diego Chargers wide receiver Tony Martin for most receiving touchdowns in the NFL with 14.

Jackson is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.^[1] He currently serves as mayor of his hometown, Tangipahoa, Louisiana.
