NEW YORK - February 1, 2024 - Food Network's Eddie Jackson has signed a new exclusive deal with the network, it was announced today by Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Eddie Jackson was a college football All-American at the University of Arkansas and went on to play in the NFL for five years for the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. Upon his NFL retirement in 2009, he turned his focus to his passion for food, which was instilled in him by his grandmother and father while growing up in Texas. Eddie started his food career by opening a Caribbean grill food truck in Miami, and he eventually opened a food truck, personal training business and beer garden in Houston where he currently lives. In 2015, Eddie was a contestant on Food Network Star, where he bested eleven other finalists by winning the season. He proved to be the ultimate culinary champion during Star, known for his charismatic personality, charm under pressure and spectacular cooking skills. His take on food, which combines his southern background with his passion for rich bold flavors, consistently distinguished him in the competition. He currently hosts Outchef'd, Christmas Cookie Challenge and Yum and Yummer, and appears regularly on many other shows including Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped and Supermarket Stakeout.
