  WR Calvin Jackson Jr. drew motivation from disappointment and came away with an NFL contract. The former standout Washington State receiver had "high hopes" that he'd be picked up as an undrafted free agent shortly after going unselected in the NFL draft last month. "But it didn't work out in my favor," Jackson said by phone Monday. "So, I used that to fuel the fire. Any opportunity I got, I told myself that I was going to make the most of it, and I think I did that."

The New York Jets gave Jackson his chance and extended an invite to try out at their rookie minicamp, staged over the weekend in Florham Park, New Jersey. Feeling determined and underestimated, Jackson excelled at the three-day audition and the Jets asked him to come aboard Monday. "I went there and had a chip on my shoulder," he said a few hours after signing. "Every route I ran, every catch I made, every opportunity I got - I made sure to make the most of it and I think it showed. I think (the Jets' staff) saw it. And it's a blessing for them to see that and give me an opportunity, but the job's not done yet. I still have more to prove." - Spokesman-Review
