Allen Park — Against the odds, Jerry Jacobs was soaring. Then an injury clipped his wing.
And through it all, Jacobs looks back on his rookie season — which saw him go from undrafted rookie to Detroit Lions starting cornerback to Pro Football Focus’ top-rated UDFA, before ending with a torn ACL — as a “blessing.”
“Just to look back on it — and I stopped looking (back) on it, because we’re in a new season — but in the past season, I was looking at it, and I was just like, ‘I really played 13 games in the NFL, and actually played good,’” Jacobs told The Detroit News last week.
