Now, Jackson is heading to Atlanta for Super Bowl LIII.

But after some trouble with the law, he found himself signing as an undrafted free agent with the Patriots. Now, Jackson is one step away from being a champion. Edward Barnes went to high school with Jackson’s dad. He said the two are remarkably similar. “His father, we used to run track together,” Barnes said. “I was couple grades older than him, but Chris Jackson was a good athlete.” As for Anthony, he remains humble as one of his boys lights up on the world’s biggest stage. “I’m glad I was able to stop what I was doing,” Anthony said. “Witness greatness and be able to assist and ultimately give a small bit of advice.” He hopes Jackson’s success will help his current players gain exposure from good college football programs. Jackson will have a tough task in taking on one of the NFL’s best passing offense — the Los Angeles Rams — in two weeks.
