DB-MARLIN JACKSON(On playing both corner and safety)Saturday, April 23, 2005
"It taught me just what the entire defensive backfield is doing. At one time, I wasn't a great tackler, and I found out at safety, I wasn't as good as a tackler as I thought I was, so I went out during the off-season and worked on it."
DB-MARLIN JACKSON(On settling down at corner)Saturday, April 23, 2005
