It is no secret that the Carolina Panthers defense left a lot to be desired last year. However, one of the positional areas of the defense that had really good stretches was the secondary. In particular rookie Donte Jackson and veteran James Bradberry were stabilizers for a defense that at times looked unsure of themselves over the course of the season.
Jackson had a tremendous beginning to his career with the Carolina Panthers. He started in all 16 games recording 74 tackles, nine pass deflections, a forced fumble, and four interceptions. Jackson even managed to record a sack.
