When Eddie Jackson lined up for the Miami Dolphins in 2005 and 2006 he had high hopes for a long lasting NFL career. His career was derailed by an ACL injury in 2006 that ended his season and his career with the Dolphins. He would go on to play for the Patriots and Redskins before calling it a career after being an un-drafted signee in 2004 by the Carolina Panthers. Jackson found motivation in himself to change his life. Last night, his life changed.
Following his pro career Jackson found food as his outlet. He worked in and around the Miami area learning Caribbean cuisine and this year was selected to participate in the Food Networks reality series, Food Network Star.
