Tyson Jackson signed a 5 year 25 million contract last season and expectations were high going into 2014. As a well-known solidified run-stopper, Jackson looked to impress teammates with his leadership and his play on the field.
Unfortunately, he didn’t help the defense much. The Falcons’ defense was ranked dead last in yards per game. One of the biggest problems was the lack of a consistent pass rush.
It seems Jackson is attempting to give them some help in that category. He hired a personal chef to aid him in losing weight for more speed and quickness off the line.
