Here's the thing about Jackson – he's not going to back down. In his mind, that's how he's gotten this far.

"That's me, man. I'm a confident player. I've got confidence in myself," Jackson said. "I've been like that my whole life. I've been the smallest guy my whole life. I had to be confident. I had to have an extra bite. I'm a pitbull. Anybody who doesn't understand that is merely a puppy."

His head coach has no problem with Jackson's response and his willingness to express his emotions.

"I'd much rather have a guy who takes it personal, that is upset, that in the heat of moment wants to be successful," Ron Rivera said. "I've got no issue with it."

And while Jackson may not agree with the way he was presented on "All or Nothing," he acknowledges the personal development that needs to take place if he's to take that step forward in 2019.
