Appalachian State WR Dexter Jackson is drawing interest from the Patriots and Eagles. Jackson was never a prolific pass catcher in college, but his return ability and impressive 40-time have teams trying to scratch their Devin Hester itch. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=3203122 Dexter Jackson "His speed was on display in the 34-32 win at Michigan, when he scored two touchdowns. He finished the season with 30 catches for 688 yards and eight touchdown in helping the Mountaineers win their third straight national title. Last year's Southern Conference champion at 200 meters, Jackson ended up at Appalachian State. He was recruited by the likes of Florida and Georgia, but he failed to get a qualifying SAT score until just before signing day." Shows his talent level?
