Astrobot Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The most unlikely running back in the National Football League is tearing it up. Great video that tells the story of Jackson's rise from Coe College, to sub-arena, to arena, to NFL Europe, to NFL, to starter, to MVP?!?!?!?!?!

Bleed Bills Blue Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Great to see the Levy acknowledgment. You know, for all the pain Marv inflicted on us during his stint as GM, if Freddie turns out to be the engine that earns us a SB title, all will be forgiven!

Highly overrated as a coach, disaster as GM - but we finally found one thing he accomplished: finding Fred Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Nice story, thanks. Been the best back on our roster for years. Finally got rid of bust mode so he could get the needed reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Fred Jackson is da man. Let's hope that he's the next to get signed to an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately unless Rodgers falls off a cliff he has MVP locked up. But, Fred has a good shot at All-Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Incredible video. Didn't know he played Arena ball too...at $200 a game. Amazing story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vorpma Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I have to say that Fred Jackson is one of my favorite all time Bills; great success story, exciting to watch and all Buffalo mind set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for that. It's a great video. And btw, props to a fairly large number of people on this site who saw his talent from the beginning with the Bills and backed him often and vociferously. We get a lot of things wrong around here but this was one time we got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo 66 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I can't say ALL will be forgiven. Highly overrated as a coach, disaster as GM - but we finally found one thing he accomplished: finding Fred Jackson. He accomplished much more than one thing! You forgot to mention that between 1988-1997 the Bills had the highest winning percentage in the AFC and second only to the 49ers in the entire NFL! He also won NFL coach of the year in 1988 and AFC coach of the year in 88 93 and 95. He also coached the bills to six AFC EAST titles and Four consecutive AFC Championships! He was a first ballot HALL OF FAMER! He also won three CFL championships! He graduated from Harvard with a masters degree as well. So I believe that it is fair to say he accomplished more than finding Fred Jackson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for the post and video, it's impossible not to love the guy and root for him. Until you read, this... For his part, Jackson has been a model citizen, with Raeburn saying that neither Jackson nor his brother has ever consumed alcohol: "He was the designated driver for his own bachelor party." I just can't trust him. Just kidding of course. Pay the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Fantastic video! Even better - the man... Fred Jackson. So glad he's a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Fred is a great player and person. I met him at TC and he signed a Coe College hat that i bought in honor of him. He was surprised and happy to see it and talked to me about where i got it. Just a nice dude, I love his style and how much he loves the game. PAY THE MAN!
