Some players in the NFL seize the opportunity to improve and make a name for themselves. Others simply take their paycheck and punch in to work. San Diego Chargers wide-receiver Vincent Jackson falls into the former category, steadily improving over the course of his career into arguably his teams top offensive threat.
But it wasn’t always that way. Jackson has had to play his hand at the understudy role under Keenan McCardell, and being further on the depth chart then Chris Chambers. But the time Jackson has spent in the mix has allowed him to outperform the other receivers in San Diego and elevate his game.
In 2008 Jackson posted career bests in all three major receiving categories of receptions, yards and touchdowns. It would be easy for Jackson to have settled after becoming a 1000 yard receiver, but as he has matured on the field, his relationship with San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers has continued to blossom. Jackson has become his primary target in their offense, even with weapons such as Antonio Gates at tight-end and running-backs Ladanian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles continuing their strong play.
But the Chargers offense is one that compliments all of the pieces that are put into play. Because of the way those players have kept defenses off-balance, the 6’5 230 pound Vincent Jackson has matured into a big play-maker. He followed up his career-best 2008 season by posting all-new career highs once again in 2009 with 68 receptions for 1167 yards and 9 touchdowns, earning himself a trip to Miami for the 2010 NFL Pro-Bowl.
Upon arriving in South Beach, Jackson was ready to put the disappointment of the Chargers recent playoff loss to the New York Jets behind him, and focus on putting on his best performance in Miami. Jackson was one of the best players on a field full of superstars, as he caught 7 pass for 122 yards and a big 3rd quarter touchdown reception that helped bring the AFC back from a deficit to end up defeating the NFC.
Vincent Jackson has finally proven himself as a game-changer, and is no longer just a lanky receiver but a polished, physical wide-out that can be a force for the San Diego offense for years to come. That is why the Vincent Jackson Rookie Card looks to be gaining value as Jackson continues to set his sights even higher.
