Talkative rookie Donte Jackson not short on confidence
CHARLOTTE – The last cornerback who talked a lot around here believed he could morph himself into the Dark Knight.Two seasons removed from Josh Norman, it appears the Panthers have finally found a replacement. As a yapper, at least.
“I talk,” second-round cornerback Donte Jackson after Friday’s rookie minicamp. “But I don't really do the superhero thing.
“I wake up like this. Just a natural edge. Like Beyoncé said, 'She woke up like that.'”
Moments later, as Ron Rivera began his session with the media, Carolina's head coach wondered aloud:
“Did he just quote Beyoncé?”
Indeed. You must have missed when Jackson dropped some Cardi B before practice, Coach.
