3. Jackson can be a headache

Without question, there have been numerous times throughout Jackson’s career when he’s proven to be one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL, mainly due to his blazing speed.

After looking at how many times Jackson has been able to break free from defenders to find himself wide open down the football field, it’s easy to understand why most teams would love to have him as part of the roster to provide an extra weapon on offense.

However, just like plenty of other great players across the league, there have also been plenty of times in which Jackson has been a headache for the team he’s been part of, even dating back to his playing days with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The fact that Jackson was willing to go out of his way during an interview to express interest in joining the Rams while technically still under contract with the Buccaneers shows how frustrating he can be to deal with at times.
