WMH, 7th round pick, Dorin Dickerson is one of those guys who has been schooling Jackson. So has undrafted FA Bobby Williams. It has not been just AJ schooling the kid.

That said, I did see Jackson start to show recognition and flashes. He is a rookie with a ton being thrown at him. I am not sure if his gradmother was ill and he knew she was going to pass, if so this also could have been a factor in his slow start.

I think Jackson will be a solid player, and making him work the the ones in camp will accelerate his development. Will he start day 1? I don't know. If he doesn't start, does that mean he is a wasted pick? Not at all. Most CB have an adjustment period in the NFL. The coaches are handling him the best way they should.

I have serious doubts about him starting in the season opener, but I will be disappointed in him if he's not starting by midseason. Afterall Quin, a rookie himself and a mere 4th round pick last year, was starting by the 3rd or 4th game of the season and held down that starting-position the rest of the season IIRC ?
