1979 Profile: Terry Jackson

Cornerback
No. 24
San Diego State
"He ain't heavy, but he's Monte Jackson's brother. It helped to have an older brother who was an All-Pro before him. He calls it 'quite a challenge' to cover a receiver while '76,000 people are looking at you; that's quite a few. I don't worry about things, though. I'm low-key.'
In his first pro game, he intercepted the first pass thrown his way and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown against Green Bay. Terry led the Giants in interceptions, with seven.
Born December 9, 1955, in Sherman, Texas, he played at San Diego State, where he was All-West Coast."

-John Jeansonne, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1979 Edition)
