Vincent Jackson ran a 4.46 at the combine. Common sense would dictate to someone like me that a tenth of a second isn't that much of a difference but Sports Science has me saying otherwise.

On a side note, Jackson is actually a really smart guy:
Quote:
He came from a military family and had a 4.25 GPA in college. It is hard to fathom how alcoholism was able to find a way into his life.

Vincent Jackson is not a thug, not illiterate, and not a mean guy. He simply has a problem with alcohol, that's all.

He may not admit it, but he needs help.

I am a big fan of Vincent Jackson. I love what he brings to the team, his attitude, and how he has gotten better each year. I certainly wish Vincent the best and hope he will overcome his demons and overcome an obstacle that many succumb to.
