Two-time Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson Joins Baltimore Ravens' Elite Safety Trio

Two-time Pro Bowl safety Eddie Jackson has signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, reuniting with former teammate Roquan Smith and joining forces with Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams to form an elite safety trio.

Jackson spent seven seasons with the Chicago Bears, starting every game during that period. He was released by the Bears after a two-year dry spell without a pick and an injury-plagued season that limited him to 12 games in which he recorded one interception and 37 tackles.

However, Jackson's career highlights include finishing fourth in the league with six interceptions and scoring three touchdowns as the highest-graded safety by PFF in 2018. He has a total of 15 interceptions, 10 forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries.

The Ravens already had a strong safety duo in Hamilton and Williams. With Jackson's addition, they now have an elite safety trio that will bolster their secondary.

Jackson was Pro Football Focus' highest-graded safety in the league in 2018 when he finished fourth in the league with six interceptions and scored three touchdowns. He was also a first-team All-Pro that year and a Pro Bowler in 2018 and 2019.

Despite his injury issues over the past two seasons, Jackson is expected to make a full recovery and return to his previous form in Baltimore.

The Ravens have expressed confidence in Ar'Darius Washington as their third safety but have now added more safety experience with Jackson's signing. He will likely step into Geno Stone's role, allowing for more flexibility with the use of Hamilton and other members of the secondary.

Jackson was drafted by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft and started every game he suited up for in Chicago. He is regarded as one of the top ballhawks in the league.

    The author makes several statements that are factual and do not contain any fallacies. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author mentions that Eddie Jackson was a 'top safety in the game for a time' and an 'All-Pro' based on NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport's report. This does not detract significantly from the overall quality of the article and does not warrant a score below 95.
