Thought this was an interesting metric:
We’re all fretting over Pickens’ injury — rightfully so — and hoping young guys like Burton and Washington can pick up some of the slack, but perhaps we’re overlooking the receiver who led the team in receptions (with Pickens) and receiving yards a little bit. As the above stat shows, Jackson was no slouch in the clutch.
Get The Picture 
Jackson seems always to fly under the radar given the players around him. He’s a really good player who understands the system, leads on the field, and has talent.

K-Jack is one of my favorites, but just like Pickens in ’19, if the defense doesn’t have anyone else to really worry about, they can key in on the number one and render him basically ineffective. Thankfully Monken’s scheme appears to mitigate that, but we definitely need Burton and co. to come through.

I hate that Pickens is down and maybe a bit naïve but I have faith in the ones we have.

Pickens was not the fastest receiver on the team, and maybe not the most likely to actually get open, but he was a vacuum cleaner when the ball came his way. Lots of other talent there, but nothing really similar.

good analogy, kinda the Brooks Robinson of football.

Don’t sell Jackson short, he’s a tremendous slouch. I keed… Just could resist the reference.

I hate losing Pickens because he’s going to be another AJ/Julio in the NFL, but we have plenty of receiving talent.

Jackson is a well put together WR. Looks like he could be a TE. Excited to see these guys on the field soon!

Don’t sleep on a (hopefully) healthy Blaylock either
