i love Freddy!
full story
Want the football illustration of persistence? Look no further than the Buffalo Bills’ backfield. There you will find Fred Jackson, who has gone from afterthought to a valued backup running back.
He was undrafted coming out of college and unwanted after a year in an indoor pro football league. After one failed attempt to make the Bills’ 53-man roster, Jackson was given little chance to climb a depth chart with first-round draft pick Marshawn Lynch, mid-round draftee Dwayne Wright and incumbent veteran Anthony Thomas in front of him.
