My only problem with Jackson is his size. I don't think he will be able to sustain being a WR in the NFL and taking those hits. I think he is a smaller Ginn Jr. -- see Glorified punt returner. That being said he will make a good pick for a team if he can be Deven Hester 2, but not fantasy wise unless your league counts returns

He's the same height and only about 15 lbs. less than this other WR in the NFL named Marvin Harrison. You may have heard of him. Anyway, I agree that he needs to bluk up and get a bit stronger, but I think he will do so and be an effective NFL WR.

With regards to the Ginn comparison. I wouldn't give up on Ginn so easily. He has only played 1 year in the league, and the QB situation on the team was terrible. Give him a bit more of a chance.

Harrison and Jackson are completely different wide outs.

As far as Ginn goes, I said last year he won't be a good wide out in the NFL. It has nothing to do with last season. The guy runs horrible routes, and tries to use his speed to beat people, but he can't do that in the NFL. He will be a good returner and below average wide out IMO

Of course Harrison and Jackson are different wide outs. I'm just saying it's possible to succeed at that size.

As for Ginn, that's fine that it's your opinion that he won't be good, I'm just saying he shouldn't necessarily be used as an example of a bust.

Devin Thomas. This guy seems to have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. I worry about Jackson's size plus to me 750 and 6 doesn't translate to 1100 12 in the NFL. Looking at his stats he has never really been that great. If you can't do it in college you prolly can't do it against bigger, stronger, fater players either.

Guess we will see.

I voted OTHER. I like Mike Hart more than Choice and Slaton, as far as being an NFL RB.

As do I, I just don't like him as much as a couple of the WR.

Same here, which is why I voted for Thomas and not other to nominate Hart :-D
