Patriots Immediately Knew JC Jackson Wasn’t A Typical Undrafted Rookie
Man o man, this kid gets it. Could be TB12 saying that. Another guy from nowhere with the talent to play and a fire in his belly.
Bill sure knows how to get value outside the draft, especially on defense. I'm just amazed as he routinely pulls low round and UDFA guys out of his back pocket that turn into key contributors, and he just did it again. Jackson made some huge plays in the defense and his ability to play man to man against very good receivers allowed our defense to shine like it did in the playoffs, especially against KC and LAR. Good call, Mr. Belichick.
“I feel like a lot of people doubted me,” Jackson said. “I still think about that to this day, like, ‘Man, so many people doubted me, man.’ So, I just work hard. I just grind to let everything play out. You won’t ever see me get down or nothing like that. I just keep grinding. Just keep grinding.”
