Does anyone know how Chad Jackson is doing?

[BallHawk]

I wasn't one of the people going crazy when we traded our pick that we could of picked Jackson with, as I know other people where. So does anyone know how Jackson is doing in the Patriot's OTA's?

Looks like he's gonna be the #3 behind Branch and Caldwell

sporting news 6/2/06
All those aflutter about the selection of WR Chad Jackson in the draft may have to hold their breath. Reche Caldwell figures to have the inside track to the starting spot opposite Branch. Caldwell, signed as a free agent from the Chargers, couldn't catch a break injury-wise in San Diego, Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith said recently. If he stays healthy in New England, he should show the hands and plus-speed that he came into the league possessing. Caldwell isn't as ferocious as downfield blocker as the Pats would like but he is willing to go in traffic and has a terrific attitude which goes a long way in New England.

Thanks guys.

probably we'll be comparing Jackson and Jennings their whole careers.

You can see clips of both Jennings and Jackson at this site.

This is from rotoworld; Tom Brady repeatedly found rookie WR Chad Jackson in red-zone drills at Patriots minicamp.
The second-round pick was the talk of the spring. He'll compete with Reche Caldwell to start in training camp. Jun. 18 - 9:38 am et

Jennings has turned heads too.

I hope the best for the guy. Two things raise red flags about this guy:

The Steelers, with more draft picks starting for their team than any other team in the league knew they'd have a shot at this guy but traded up to grab Santonio Holmes.

Secondly, he wasn't too productive of a college player. In 2005, he was solid with 88 catches for 900 yards and 9 touchdowns. In 2004, he was used primarily as a deep threat using his speed to beat people and had 600+ yards with less than 30 catches. Santonio Holmes had less catches, but more yards and more touchdowns. It sounds to me like he was a good posession receiver for Florida than a dominate game-changing wideout. If he could not dominate in the college ranks, I don't think he'll be able to in the NFL. He's got everything you want physically from a receiver, so it definitely raised the question of why didn't he dominate? Sure, he had a ton of catches. Most were very short yardage though.

I think the Packers may have been smart is having their target set of Jennings.

Hehe Now we know the Pats gameplan at Lambeau! Brady to Jackson...but the pass is intercepted by Woodson. Wuhuu

I think Chad is doing better than the only receiver taken ahead of him.

ANOTHER ARREST FOR HOLMES

The Associated Press reports that Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes was arrested early Monday for domestic violence.

The arrest came just after midnight. Holmes was taken to the Franklin County (Ohio) jail. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. The police aren't giving out any details as to who has made the complaint or what Holmes allegedly did.

The first-round draft pick out of Ohio State also was arrested in Miami during Memorial Day weekend for disorderly conduct, apparently as part of a local crackdown on folks who act up outside one of the many South Beach clubs.

Said coach Bill Cowher following Holmes' first arrest: "Whatever he did wrong, I don't think he handled it properly. I think he'll learn from it and understand the scrutiny he's under. We have not talked face to face about it. I don't have any long-term concerns."

In April, the Steelers traded up from No. 32 to No. 25 in order to select Holmes, who was the first receiver taken in the draft. The second wideout, Florida's Chad Jackson, landed with New England in round two.

Jackson hasn't been arrested for anything. Yet. Given the position he plays, it's almost statistically certain that, at some point in his career, he'll be dragging a tin cup along a set of steel bars.

I'd like to see an Article supporting that statement Scott.

"NFL WR's Bound to Turn Jailbird's." Is that actually the case?

You just posted the exact same thing twice. Just because Santonio Holmes is getting into trouble means nothing at this point. Its impossible to predict right now who will have the biggest year.

I don't know that I'd say it means nothing. I can tell you I'm glad Jennings hasn't had 2 run-ins with the law since the draft.
