[QUOTE="TOPHAT, post: 160743, member: 781"] The training camp reviews indicate the "immediate impact" progress of the drafted rookies is generally good news.

But he's showing some really positive signs the last few days....He's certainly come back, and we're giving him more reps now because he's starting to get in shape. He's going to be fine. We're encouraged." [b]RB Jackson[/b] progresses having shined in Family Scrimmage Night by excelling in pass catching skills & scoring a run TD.
