The pedigree is there.. His daddy Jim was on two Dallas Super Bowl teams. He was a standout at Texas...an All American DE. BUT for some reason after eight rounds nobody drafted him this year.
So where does an angry future NFL star go to show he has what it takes to play at this level? Well...Seattle of course.
His father played with Ken Norton Jr, Now a Seahawk linebacker coach, in Dallas so it just made sense that Jackson wanted a tryout with the Hawks.
Seattle has made a living giving low and undrafted players a chance if they show promise.
Just ask this years Super Bowl MVP Malcom Smith. Malcom who? Smith! another nobody Seattle picked up for damned near nothing with an undrafted's chip on his shoulder just like Jackson Jeffcoat... Except Jackson isn't a nobody and his daddy isn't a nobody and he better hold up the family name and make the team or Jim gonna kick his son's ass...
