Jackson is the player people have been hoping and wishing on Mecole Hardman to become since we drafted him.
Jackson, apart from his deep speed, can actually get open. He still has some quicks. That 'simple slant' is a hell of a lot easier for Jackson to get an inside release on than it is for Robinson because DBs have to respect his deep speed and in so doing, leave themselves open to a quick cut.
Would I care if they signed him? No, not really. Probably not a lot left in the tank. But would I be a little intrigued by the possibility? Sure - why wouldn't you be? If he can actually use his speed to create separation underneath, then all the "this is the year Hardman finally becomes a viable X receiver" stuff may actually prove half true in that we'd at least have the guy people were hoping Hardman would develop into.
