Tanard Jackson delivered the jump-off-the-couch moment in the Bucs win at Kansas City. It's time to vote this 23-year-old into the Pro Bowl.

The Bucs’ finest fourth-round draft pick in history added to his super-stud status today.

Free safety Tanard Jackson turned 23 during training camp. But Bucs fans know he’s been a man for well over a year now.

Just when the game at the Chiefs turned extra ugly, when Clifton Smith coughed up the football just five yards from a score, Jackson took the field with the Bucs defense and singlehandedly ripped the game from the Chiefs with a strip and a fumble recovery.

Jackson’s strip of Jamaal Charles was a throwback to the glory days of the Bucs defense, when big plays seemed to come whenever the team needed them most.

Joe knows that the greatest players in the game take charge at critical moments. So that strip and recovery was not just another good play by Jackson, or another big contribution from a Bucs defender. It was a young guy with Hall of Fame potential delivering an extraordinary moment.
