A few facts about WJIII's play last year:
Held Antonio Brown to 0 receptions.
Coverage snaps per reception: 26.4 (best in the league)
Lowest catch % allowed: 36.6% (best in the league)
Fewest yards allowed: 151 (best in the league)
Yards per coverage snap: 0.38 (3rd best in a season since 2006)
Passer rating: 36.1 (7th best since 2006)
Again, all this in essentially his rookie season.
A fact many forget that makes him extra special...he was greatly desired by the steelers and we took him a pick or two ahead of them in the draft. We were looking WR in the first round, but the 4 top WRs went before our turn. That forced the Bengals to re-evaluate and we took Jackson forcing the steelers to settle for Artie Burns who so far has been serviceable at best. That makes Jackson that much sweeter. :andy:
