Jackson played college football at Alabama for 4 seasons where he played in 41 games for the Crimson Tide. Eddie was named Defensive MVP of the 2016 (2015 season) College Football National Championship after tallying an interception and three tackles against the Clemson Tigers.

J: What do you think of the new Bears 100 throwback uniforms?
J's Follow Up: I agree. The throwbacks are cool. They are different than the normal jerseys with extra stripes and they look so old school. My brother Danny got one at Bears 100.
D: What was the best part about playing at Alabama?
Eddie Jackson: The games. Every game was big. Ole' Miss, LSU. The games were my favorite part.
D's Follow Up: I'd like to play against teams like that too. LSU and Tennessee would be cool teams I want to play.

On Monday, June10th, we made a trip to the Goodwill store in Rolling Meadows to meet Bears superstar Eddie Jackson. This was our second meeting with Eddie this year as we met him after the Chicago Huddle show in October. Of course, Danny asked him about his favorite team Alabama in October and couldn't pass up the opportunity to throw in another Bama question.
But ultimately, the three of us wanted to thank Eddie for helping bring our favorite player, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, to our favorite team. We even have Danny cheering for our Bears now that Ha Ha is in Chicago.
Eddie was excited to meet with the fans and we were surprised to find out they were shooting some promotional material for Goodwill. I jumped at the opportunity to be a customer in the store who receive an intercepted pass from Eddie and perform a touchdown dance with him. Hopefully I'll be in a Goodwill commercial with Eddie during the football season.
It was a great night for the three of us but the best part of the night was the boys gifting Eddie a special locker room sign they had made for him. This is something Danny surprised Ha Ha with for his birthday and we felt like the two starting safeties of the Bears needed matching locker room signs. We love watching Eddie play football and we can't wait to see him side by side with one of his best friends. The Bears turn 100 in 2019 and we think something special is happening in Chicago.
