Kareem Jackson in the Heart of Texas, Who the Hell is Kareem Jackson, the Wills Boys Are All Up On Mike Singletary's Jock

With the 20th pick in the NFL draft the Houston Texans took...Kareem Jackson?  With Ryan Matthews being snagged by the Chargers with the 12th pick, it was apparently common knowledge that the Texans would be looking to go for a cornerback to make up for the loss of Dunta Robinson.  Apparently Jackson is that man, though Yahoo Sports isn't sure why the Texans wanted to go with the Alabama (Roll Tide?) defensive back over the plethora of other corners who were still on the board. 

Jackson has some pretty bad tendencies which includes letting speedier receivers get behind him too quickly.  He doesn't have a fantastic first step and isn't really a solid to-the-line cover guy.  However, he makes up for these things with his ability and willingness to help out in the run defense and has above average closing speed.  He'll definitely be a good addition to the Texans squad though it might take a few games for him to really start adjusting to the speed of the NFL wide receivers. 

But enough of that bullshit, who IS THIS GUY?  He allegedly told Nick Saban to go fuck himself when he told him to stay for his senior season with the Tide, which, like, anyone who spurns that asshole is deserving of a large and powerful 'attaboy'.  He spent his three years in college being pretty much overshadowed by his partner across the field, Javier Arenas, but wanted to come out and prove himself in the combine, which apparently he did.  He's a former high school All-American and blah..blah...blah.  Nothing juicy at ALL here, this guy seems to be a model fucking citizen, which is fine, but come ON, not even one article about his gardening habits?  Jesus.  Well, we have a whole year ahead of us, surely there will be something. 

Until then, rest assured that the Texans have made a smart pick here, he's got all the raw tools to be successful and seems like a quality guy. 

In other news, the Wills boys got BOTH of the San Francisco 49ers draft picks.  It's a tad bit hilarious to me that they will be forced to follow the inside track for this team.  Though hey, maybe they'll get some season tickets out of it.  More to come.
