39 Days Until Chicago Bears 2017 Season Kicks Off: Eddie Jackson Profile

The Chicago Bears selected Eddie Jackson with the 112th overall selection in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft. Jackson spent his college days at Alabama where he made a name for himself for his spectacular punt returns and ability to create turnovers.

Jackson was having a solid senior campaign before he broke his leg in week eight against Texas A&M and ended his season.

2017 Season Outlook

Jackson’s 2017 season is looking up. Jackson is already on the field and practicing with the team. Most expected Jackson to be in a sub role within the Bears’ secondary and perhaps make a name for himself as a rookie on punt returns.
