20 n o r t h w e s t e r n f o o t b a l l • D I G I T A L P R O G R A M • N O R T H W E S T E R N v s . O h i o S t a t e spotlight MO: What's going on Justin? How was training camp? How's preseason? JJ: It's going well. I mean camp's pretty much over. We've got a game Thursday and then we get started. Things are going pretty well so far. MO: How is preparing for year two different than year one? JJ: I think you just have your feet under you a little more. And you know what to expect so there's a little less anxiety, more confidence and you're just more comfortable. You actually have an offseason as opposed to training the whole time for the combine and what not, so it's a lot better the second time around. MO: People talk about how in college, the jump between first- year to sophomore might be the biggest one. Do you think that's true in the NFL between your first and second season? JJ: Yeah, I think in most cases even bigger honestly. Everything is just intensified. Basically just take everything that happened in high school and college and exponentially increase it. That's pretty much what the NFL is. Some guys come in right away and they've just got it, but most guys kind of need that transition year to just become more comfortable and physically get used to the game. That was my take on it, at least. Q & A JUSTIN JACKSON
