The Eagles wide receiver faced criticism for posting anti-Semitic quotes on social media. Jackson spent much of the time after the incident offering his apologies and working to learn from his mistakes, visiting a Holocaust survivor and agreeing to his offer to one day visit Auschwitz.
He's hoping those outside of his world will believe in his sincerity as he looks to move forward from the incident.
"I've been using the time to educate myself," said Jackson. "I really just manned up to the actions I took and the biggest thing I can say is just to educate and learn from it."
Jackson learned a hard lesson about the dangers of social media and admitted his poor choice to post what he did three months ago.
While Jackson understands making the post was a mistake, he also believed he is now better educated on the subject of anti-Semitism.
"I kind of had to reflect on just life," Jackson said. "People make mistakes in life and it was just a mistake I made. I had to own up to it as a man, which I did, but I think I'm taking the proper steps and educating myself and learning from something I really didn't know too much about."
Jackson's focus is back on football, with the Eagles set to open the season in Washington on Sunday, and he’s hoping for a much different season than last year.
After catching two touchdowns and picking up 154 receiving yards in last year's season opener, Jackson suffered a core muscle injury that sidelined him for nearly all of the remainder of the season.
It’s the belief of many that if Jackson had elected to have surgery shortly after the injury, he would have been back at full strength long before the end of the 2019 campaign.
"I took the advice from my doctors here," said Jackson. "There was a lot of uncertainty with that injury. It was something I just tried to rehab without surgery. If I could do it all over again, I would have probably gotten surgery the first time around, but you live and you learn."
A healthy Jackson could make a huge impact on the Eagles offense this season. The team has added a host of talented young receivers who hope to make an immediate impact, but the veteran says he’s ready to pick up from where he left off from opening day a year ago.
"Staying healthy is a big key to this," Jackson said. "Regardless, the naysayers, the doubters, the non-believers, I live for that. I'm going to show it on Sunday. I know what I'm capable of doing and I've got a lot of juice left in me. For everybody sitting at home, get your popcorn ready and get ready for Sunday."
