The Facts:
Jackson says he's focused on becoming a better route runner and receiver. "I'm really working on being a complete running back," Jackson said after mini-camp practice Thursday. "I have said that in the past, but this year I am able to really work out with the receivers and make sure I'm a good route runner. It's different than catching 4- and 5-yard checkdowns. I'm flanking out wide with the receivers and learning to run routes."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Worth noting: New OC Pat Shurmur was with the Eagles when Bryant Westbrook averaged 84.7 receptions per 16 regular-season games over a five-year period ending last season. While Jackson has averaged 21.4 carries per game over the last three seasons, his receptions per game fell from 5.6 during his 90-catch season in 2006 to about 3.3 per game over the last two seasons. Per ESPN.com's Mike Sando, somewhere in the middle seems realistic for Jackson.
