Justin Jackson Shines In Surprise Role
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson finally had the chance to see some action on Sunday, and he looked great. The seventh-round pick carried the ball seven times for 57 yards, racking up an incredible 8.1 YPC. The seven carries were more than he's tallied in the rest of the season combined, and he'll likely get some more chances in the near future now that starter Melvin Gordon looks to be sidelined for a week or two due to an MCL injury. Jackson will likely still take a back seat to Austin Ekeler, but he could be a decent handcuff for a desperate owner.
