The Chicago Bears have been adamant all offseason that this year is a blank slate for Safety Eddie Jackson. HC Matt Eberflus will not be worried about the lack of tackling which brought a lot of criticism from multiple fans and media. The new defensive staff isn't going to focus on his incredible 2018 season as well. They will try to figure out how to use him best and how to make him the best player he can become.

«He's gotten off to a good start,» safeties coach Andre Curtis said, via NBC Sports Chicago. «He's working hard through OTAs and getting better. He's asking the right questions, he's being a leader in the room. I like all the stuff I've seen from him so far.»

«Eddie's a pretty savvy veteran guy,» said Curtis. «He realizes the stuff he needs to work on. He brought several things to me as far as fundamentals-wise and stuff that we need to improve upon.

«We'll try to obviously work in that direction and try to maximize his potential and try to put him in a good opportunity to help our defense.»

Another very interesting thing that Curtis said is that Eddie Jackson has taken on a great leadership role. He is trying his best to help the young guys, especially rookie S Jaquan Brisker

We share information. Good defenses are made when people share things they know to help others. Because you may have an answer to something that someone else needs, or vice versa. So you can learn from anyone and you can teach anyone. I've always thought that's been a good environment to have, and Eddie's doing that.

I don't know what goes on into the past, but ever since I've known him, here, he's been really good. He's communicated well, he's working hard, he's studying, and he's helping the young guys in the room. I really like what I've seen out of Eddie. He's in a good place right now.»
