Just four years ago, Donte Jackson was playing football for Riverdale High School in his hometown of New Orleans.

Now Jackson is playing cornerback for the Carolina Panthers, leading all NFL rookies in interceptions with four this season.

Jackson will play his hometown team for the first time Monday night when the Saints travel to face Carolina.

"There's a swagger to him," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "He's got a short memory. I like him. I think he starts and stops very quickly, and I think they like him, too. I've just seen enough film to see where he belongs, and I think he's going to be a good corner there for a long time.”
