Eddie Jackson has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Eddie Jackson has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after a stand out performance in Detroit on Thanksgiving day, which saw him perfectly jump a Matthew Stafford pass and take it to the house. It was Jackson’s 3rd defensive touchdown this season, and his 5th in two years, the most in the NFL in that time frame. Matter of fact, it’s the most in the NFL since 2015... Not too shabby for a player drafted in 2017.

Jackson has been enjoying a fantastic sophomore year in Chicago after being drafted in the 4th round by Ryan Pace last year.
