EDMONTON -- Tristan Jackson played the role of southern gentleman Sunday as he tried to make light of the kickoff return that has everybody talking in E-Town.

From this story and other I've just read, it looks like TJ has a great chance of making the squad.
Another quote from the same story:
Quote:
[Head coach Danny] Maciocia stopped short Sunday of naming Jackson to the team, but the director of football operations positively raved about the ball-hawking rookie defensive back with the potential to start on defence and handle returns.
Other quick quotes:
Special teams: Tristan Jackson should have a job because of his punt-return touchdown in the controlled scrimmage and in Calgary last week.
After Tristan Jackson returned that kick for a touchdown against Calgary last week, he was the subject of a ton of media stories Monday.
