Billieve: Catching Up with Fred Jackson

Fred Jackson is no stranger to overcoming adversity, especially when it comes to pursuing his dreams of playing in the NFL. Coming out of high school, no colleges offered Jackson a football scholarship. After an All-American career at Division III Coe College, all 32 teams passed on Jackson in the 2003 NFL Draft. Undeterred, Jackson remained determined, playing in and starring for teams in both the National Indoor Football League and NFL Europe before finally getting his chance with the Buffalo Bills in 2007. Jackson played for Buffalo for eight seasons, ranking third all-time in rushing yards, fifth in rushing TDs and sixth in receptions. Jackson discusses his unusual path to the NFL, his favorite memories from playing in Buffalo, his special relationship with Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy, why Bills fans are the best, and why he's passionate about giving back to his community.
