"It's not official because we haven't signed it yet, but I've got the contract."Jackson, one of 38 undrafted players brought in to battle for a handful of contracts, will report back to the Bucs in two weeks for the first session of OTAs, which open on his 23rd birthday. Rogers said Jackson will be one of 12 receivers the Bucs take to camp, so he'll still face a tough numbers crunch to make the Bucs' 53-man roster in August.Jackson is the fourth member of this year's USF senior class to sign with an NFL team, joining cornerbacks Mike Jenkins (first round, Cowboys) and Trae Williams (fifth, Jaguars) and linebacker Ben Moffitt, who signed a free-agent deal with the Texans.Posted by Greg Auman at 6:56:52 PM on May 5, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (0) http://blogs.tampabay.com/usf/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him the best, and hope to buy a Bucs Ajax jersey in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does well, but he will be facing long odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
