The first time was a D2 athlete even. Came as close as a single WR could come to beating a whole team outside of Randy Moss.

That is tragic. My heart goes out to the family he left behind. RIP.

Great research Kem. Why don’t you dig a little deeper and see what con they were in the first time they were here. I’ll help. It was in ‘02 as a So.

R.I.P. Probably the best performance that i have ever witnessed from an opponent in Washington Grizzly Stadium. 15 catches for 227 and a TD.

Not to argue, but while his was great, I think the damage done by one Cooper Kupp to us was greater....but the most amazing thing about Jackson to me was he ALSO started on their basketball team.... :clap:

Sad, either way.

Dupe,

 

[zengriz]

...nfl needs to step up and help these guys...
...keep track and monitor severe case of cte..
...this guy appeared to be screaming for help...

Jackson/UNC lost that game; scored one TD. Kupp beat us again and again. Lots of TDs. 33 receptions for 574 yards and 6 TDs. He even threw one pass for 54 yards. We couldn't stop him in 4 tries.
