Just read this story...
Its RG3 Part Duh. And Jackson's moms name is Felicia. Well, bye Felicia.
I don’t know. I kinda came away thinking his Mom is doing a great job raising her kid. I thought his refusal to run the 40 and his unavailability were red flags, but now that I have some context I think they’re keeping this close knit and focused. He’s obviously high-character and a tremendous althlete, but they have had to keep him on track to play exclusively QB and it sounds like that’s easier said than done.
I wouldn’t mind adding him but it sounds like his camp is dead-set on QB-only so I’m not sure how we could integrate him into the offense with Smith in the fold. Early in his career I think there’s a lot of sub-packages you could use him in while you groom him to take over at QB, but I feel like you’d want to keep defenses guessing as far as where he lines up.
The only super agreeable way we get him that I can see is if we trade down from 13 or he drops to round 2. I’d absolutely take the gamble if he falls that far...he’d immediately become the best athlete on the roster imo. Ultimately, I’d even strongly consider him @ 13 as long as you’re sold on him as far as his personality and ability to process the NFL game - the tools are there. The other question is do Grunden and his assistants really want him, obviously. If there is legitimate interest on both sides I could see Jackson being the biggest impact player of this class - and having Smith gives the org plenty of time to help him develop.
He’s certainly an interesting prospect, and I for one won’t knock it if the Skins wind up with the guy. At this point I’d say the smart money is that he winds up elsewhere. In which case I’ll be pulling for him...
