Eric the Red Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Brandon Jackson is Turning Heads at Packers Camp Posted May 5th 2007 10:59AM by Dan Benton Filed under: Packers, NFC North Many fans, including myself, were severely disappointed with the Green Bay Packers draft. Considering the areas of need, they seemed seem to draft backwards. Rather than grabbing a running back in the first round, they grabbed a defensive tackle. It was a theme that continued throughout the day. Despite our disappointments, there seems to be a ray of hope. Second-round running back Brandon Jackson (Nebraska) is already turning heads. He saw the bulk of the carries in the Packers first day of minicamp yesterday and the coaches wasted no time in praising him. "First of all, he's a good running back," Reggie McKenzie said. "He's quick. He's got great vision. He's hard to tackle. He's got all the attributes that we look for in a running back." The pressure is not lost on the rookie running back. Jackson realizes what is at stake and the chances he has. "There's an opportunity here to come in and play right away and even an opportunity to start," Jackson said. "There's a big responsibility just because they've put a lot on me." By all accounts, he fits right in with the Packers and their running game. Despite the presence of Vernand Morency, it looks like this is Jackson's job to lose. Fantasy Football gurus, take notice. Quote Link to comment

Touchdown Tommie Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 This is nice to see. I don't see him having a very difficult time beating out Morrency for the starting job. Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Keep on keepin' on Bjax!! Make us proud! Quote Link to comment
Ericinho Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Just think...what if he had been starting the whole season? Sigh. Best of luck to ya BJax! Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I didn't know if it was good or bad for him to leave early to the NFL, but anyone who has a brain can tell it was by far the smartest thing for him to enter the draft. 2nd round pick to the Packers who are thin at RB and he is going to have a great chance to be their starter next season. It may have looked questionable at first to go pro, but now he is living a dream come true. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment

Licensed to Ill Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'd guess his only competition will be DeShawn Wynn Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'd guess his only competition will be DeShawn Wynn Wynn actually might be the least of BJAX's worries. There is talk of Wynn maybe playing some FB also. Remember, they still have former Okie State RB Vernand Morency. Quote Link to comment
