Last week against the Raiders, the story was J.J. McCarthy and his performance, but someone else also had a good week in Trishton Jackson. Jackson picked up where he left off against the Raiders and found the endzone on the team’s first drive.
He didn’t just score though, he ran a great route and capped it off with a toe-tap touchdown.
Usually, we see those types of routes and catches from Justin Jefferson, which is a big reason why he earned the contract he did this offseason. Trishton Jackson, though, is shining through training camp and now through the two preseason games. The competition for WR3 remains between Jailen Nailor and Brandon Powell, but Jackson is doing everything he can to make things interesting.
Even if he doesn’t earn that role, he very much should make the 53-man roster at this point. It Is still early, too; maybe he adds a second one to repeat what he did last week?
Nice lil toe tap tuddy for the @vikings 🩰
