During the recent press conference, Jackson was put on the spot to answer questions about his teammate, Odell Beckham Jr. The wide receiver, commonly known by his initials, OBJ, was a former Rams player. As the team is going to face his former team in the next game, it was evident that he will be a topic in any interview happening.

However, the reporters asked pretty interesting questions about him. The first one was about his leadership and what it means to the players. To this, Jackson replied, “He pretty much just lead by example.” He further added, “He cool with the guys you know, he don’t just try to like charge us up and stuff like that, try to get in our face to pump us up.”

Later, he described Beckham in just a few words. He said, “He pretty much just lead by example, go out there work hard, be Odell and that’s all.” Now, all eyes are on Odell. He helped his former team win the Super Bowl, but will he be able to win against them? Time will definitely answer that question. Meanwhile, Odell wasn’t just praised by Jackson, but also by their coach, John Harbaugh.
