Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN.com insider John Clayton, getting Jackson's deal done before the start of camp was crucial. Considered a potential first-round pick and a possible starter for the Patriots, Jackson was considered a steal with the 36th pick in the draft. At the very least, Jackson's speed -- a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine -- production in two different offensive systems in his time with the Gators, size and tremendous hands should allow him to become an immediate contributor in New England.
