Jackson told Chargers.com in December that he felt like he had been playing some of the best football of his career.

“I always like to think of myself as a ball guy, a guy who can change the game just by going to find the ball,” Jackson said.

“Just taking what I’ve always done and coming here in a different scheme, fine tuning it, fine tuning my coverage, my eyes and being able to know when I can go and take chances,” Jackson continued. “Just playing with that confidence is allowing me to go make those plays for the team.

“When you can be in good coverage and do that consistently, at some point you’re going to get a chance to go and make a play on the ball,” Jackson added. “That’s kind of how I see it, I like to be tight in coverage so when I do get that chance to go and make a play on the ball, it can find me.”

Jackson has 23 career interceptions, which is tied for ninth-most among all active players.
