Tarvaris Jackson is turning into a sad cautionary case

The news just keeps getting worse regarding former Minnesota Vikings second-round draft pick Tarvaris Jackson.

Last week, Jackson was arrested in Florida after allegedly pulling a gun on his wife and threatening to kill her. Adding insult to injury, Jackson’s wife reportedly taunted him during the incident by ripping on his skills as a quarterback.

You might think to yourself “at least Tarvaris has plenty of money to afford a good lawyer.” But that evidently is not the case.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Jackson claims he is flat broke and has requested a public defender.
