It’s absurd that Jackson’s subpar (by his standards) 2021 season is being held against him, yet Deshaun Watson, who didn’t even play last year and whose status for this season is unknown, is ranked No. 9.

Campbell said there are parallels between poker and football, as both take discipline, patience and a lot of reps to improve. He said to excel in both sports you also need to have an awareness about your opponent.
“It’s a thrill when you’re out there competing and you’re in the hand and you…
