J.C. Jackson’s first year with the LA Chargers came with sky-high expectations following his final two seasons with New England where he picked off an whopping 17 passes. However, a nagging ankle condition caused him to have minor surgery prior to the regular season which caused him to come out of the gates a lot slower than he wanted.
After some very up-and-down play through his first four games (missed weeks one and three), Jackson suffered a ruptured patellar tendon against the Seahawks which caused him to miss the remainder of the season. He’d end his first season in LA with 15 tackles, two pass breakups, and zero interceptions.
