June 20th, 2024 - Jermaine Jackson - Number 80
One of the more coveted undrafted rookies of this year’s class for the New Orleans Saints is wide receiver/returner Jermaine Jackson out of Idaho. The former Vandals standout has an opportunity to make things happen in a specified role here in New Orleans.
Before we get to that though, let’s highlight Jackson as our Saints Player of the Day as we are now 80 days away from the Saints’ season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
At the backend of the receiving corps, Jackson has the potential to take a spot from another player due to his unique ability as a returner. Over his three years at Idaho Jackson combined for 536 yards on 36 punt return attempts, scoring on two of those and averaging about 15.7 yards per attempt. On kick returns Jackson was equally impressive accumulating 690 yards on 23 attempts, averaging 30 yards a return.
