In the leadup to the 2024 NFL draft, Jackson Powers-Johnson talked about how he had a burger named after him while at Oregon. The Rimington Award winner was the draft’s top center prospect and he hoped to get a similar burger named after him wherever he was drafted.
It turned out to be the Raiders who made Powers-Johnson their pick at 44 overall. And now a year later, the 6-3, 334-pound center has officially done it.
“I got a burger named after me,” Powers-Johnson announced Wednesday after OTA practice. “It’s at Barcode Burgers. It’s called the Big Jax burger. I brought it to Vegas. It’s super good, you guys should go try it.”
You won’t find the Big Jax on the regular Barcode Burger menu. It’s a seasonal item, just for this month.
The sandwich features a beef patty, gouda mac-n-cheese bites, pepper jack cheese, a giant onion ring, applewood smoked bacon, bacon aioli, and blueberry bbq sauce.
The burger was created by Jackson himself who is apparently not a big fan of veggies on his burger. Just lots of meat, cheese, and carbs for this Oline anchor.
