Jackson this Season
Jackson this season will join a safety room that includes veteran Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton, who is entering his third season this time. This time it will be different as per Jackson’s health after the veteran missed 10 games in almost the last two campaigns. Healthy Jackson has proved to be one of the best defensive backs in the league with Pro-Bowl and All-Pro.
Baltimore is looking forward to getting over the hump and reaching the Super Bowl for the first time. As per last year the Ravens had the best record in the NFL at 13-4 but eventually lost due to Kansas City Chiefs.
