Eddie Jackson grades out as PFF’s best safety for 2018

He could not have scripted his second season in the National Football League to go any better than what took place. For former University of Alabama star, Eddie Jackson, he is one of the primary reasons for the Chicago Bears winning an NFC North title for the first time since 2010.

A fourth-round pick of the 2017 draft, he fell to the Bears at pick 112 and had guided the league’s most dominant defense to the playoffs. Behind Jackson, Chicago leads the NFL in scoring defense (17.7 ppg) while being third in total defense – allowing 299.7 yards a game.
