The Forgotten Linebacker

The last time D’Qwell Jackson played a game, it was October 18, 2009. So, you can’t blame me for thinking, “Holy Shit! He looks good … I forgot all about him!” when I saw him playing in Saturday’s preseason game.

OK, so I didn’t really forget about him, but I was surprised by him. Surprised at how good he looked against the Packers. I think this new defense and a great supporting cast is going to allow Jackson to really shine this year.

Here’s an interesting feature I read about him the other day. Last summer, and again this past June, Jackson and 49ers safety Madieu Williams went to Sierra Leone in Africa to help the impoverished people there.

It’s a great story that shows you what kind of guy Jackson is … more than just a football player.

I’m rooting for him – and not just because he’s a Cleveland Brown. I truly hope he has a great season and can get his career back on track here in Cleveland.

Go Browns!
