Interview with Rashawn Jackson

[scpanther22]

LM: What prompted you to sign with the Panthers?

RJ: I chose to sign with the Panthers because I felt it was the best opportunity for me. There were other teams that showed some interest but I wasn't sure if they genuinely liked me or if they just wanted me to fill a spot. I knew the Panthers were interested in me for sure so I decided to go there.

who?

Best FB in the 2010 draft

[CharlotteBeer.com]

I kind of take after my head coach at Virginia; he's a real indomitable personality and indomitable spirit. I understand that in this game everything isn't going to be perfect. You have to be persistent and bounce back to the next play and the next opportunity.

He used "indomitable" twice in a sentence? This guy's William Faulkner at fullback, folks.

I like him. Many would say we've got the best two fullbacks in the last two drafts. Someone should be able to fill in well for Hoover. May the best man win the job.

[Razeyfingers]

Seems to be saying the right things, somewhat well spoken imho.

some info

[scpanther22]

I think he will go on the PS this year

[Panther59]

Found these. Both of our Fullbacks are strong as f*ck. Can't wait to see 'em both on the field again for TC cause it's gonna be a helluva competition.

Jackson benching 315 lbs.

[panthers55]

I think Jackson will make the 53 man roster. If we try to put him on the PS he will never clear waivers.

[Kettle]

we had two FB on the roster last year. why not this year?

[CharlotteBeer.com]

we had two FB on the roster last year. why not this year?

I'm with you. I think we can carry Fiammetta and Jackson for a year, at least.

[SorthNarolina]

Yeah I think we should just keep both at least until final cuts. Hoover will be very hard to replace.

[scpanther22]

I dont see us keeping two FB this year.Have to make room for 6 WR this year.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I am still not sold on Fiametta. However, I really like Jackson he is kind of like Tyrell Sutton because he has the ability to take a hand-off and make something happen from the full back position. As far as keeping both, I don't think we will have enough room on the roster. I think that spot with belong to David Gettis.
