Jackson Jeffcoat turned six years old just a few days before his father, Jim, played the final game of his 15-year NFL career. Understandably, most of Jeffcoat’s memories as a child growing up with an NFL dad are a little foggy.
But there’s one moment, a feeling, that sticks out more than any other. He can rub his face and harken back to Super Bowl XXVIII, when he was just a toddling 3-year-old.
“I remember being excited going on the field with him after the game and he'd be sweating and give us kisses. I remember his beard poking me,” said Jeffcoat, a third-year Browns outside linebacker.
