NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Second-year Tennessee Titans safety Matthew Jackson's first NFL snap is one he'll always remember. Having grown up in a housing complex called CWA Plaza in the shadows of Nissan Stadium, the Titans' home was in eyesight of his residence -- where all he had to do was cross the street to be on the premises.
So when Jackson lined up alongside veteran kicker Nick Folk as part of the coverage unit for the season-opening kickoff against the New Orleans Saints, the only thing he could think of was how electrifying the setting was at the Caesars Superdome as he donned the colors of the team that he grew up envying, and everything seemed like a movie.
