Shedrick Jackson

No. 4 · 4th season

Shedrick Jackson is trying to make the Raiders. His uncle already did something there.

There are long shots, and then there are long shots with a last name that means something in Oakland.

Shedrick Jackson is fighting for a roster spot with the Las Vegas Raiders — the same franchise his uncle Bo Jackson once made unforgettable. Bo is one of the most electric athletes American sports has ever seen, a name that needs no explanation. Shedrick is at the beginning of a much quieter road, working to earn 53 spots' worth of trust from a coaching staff that owes him nothing.

That last name is both a gift and a weight. People will look. People will compare. And Shedrick Jackson will have to show them something anyway.
