"That's when the folklore literally began," Blair said. "He housed one of the [interceptions]. He took it all the way back."
Jackson went from free safety to nickel, nickel to corner and corner to receiver in the span of one training camp, Blair said. He started the first game at receiver and led the area in receiving yards, in addition to playing everywhere on defense and returning kicks and punts.

Great article. I love reading articles on players (especially for Bama) and watching tv specials on players/coaches. It would be nice if the media could do a short article on each starter for Bama this year. Then later continue it for the rest of the team.
