"Instead of taking part in Packers minicamp on May 17th, rookie running back Brandon Jackson was forced to attend a photo shoot in Las Angeles. At the time, fans seemed a little annoyed with this and rightfully so. It was quite unfair that the NFLPA forced him to miss camp, but instead partying it up on the L.A. trip, Jackson displayed a great example of maturity and motivation by constantly studying the Packers playbook.
"I was real frustrated," Jackson recounted Thursday. "But, knowing what you got to do, I really didn't care after that. I had to go, so I went, did that. That's done and over with. I'm back out here, I'm happy and I'm just ready to go."
This is certainly a pleasant change-of-pace. It's a rarity these days to find a rookie, or any player for that matter, as devoted to improvement as Jackson is. When others are out punching strippers, attending dog fights, being arrested for assault and eating beef sticks in jail, Jackson is going out of his way to make himself a better player.
Green Bay may have found a gem here. Fans and fantasy football players should take notice."
