The Chicago Bears did not have a ton of memorable moments during the 2022 season, but the continued elite play of Eddie Jackson was a positive takeaway into 2023. The confidence of the safety certainly isn’t something that he is lacking as he looks forward to a potential historical season this year.
“I'm going to have one of the best seasons ever played by a safety!” Jackson said in a tweet, followed by a separate post saying “Mark my words!!!”
Jackson played very well in 12 games for the Bears last season, collecting 80 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.
