re: Rickey Jackson - 1st Saint elected to the Hall of Fame!!!!

Anyone who watched him play knows this was well deserved. Rickey had an insane sack total and I believe he held the record for recovering fumbles, indicating how he was always around the ball. He was an intimidating prescence throughout his career and I always felt he was responsible for the success of the Dome Patrol. Swilling was the speed guy, Mills was the defensive Q-back and run stopper, Johnson was a tackling beast, but Rickey did it all. And he did it all before the rest of them got there on some very bad teams.
I recall reading that sack totals weren't accurately kept early in his career so his total might be even higher.
