From his earliest memories, Joe Jackson dreamed of playing in the National Football League and being somebody great, a champion. But growing up in a family of seven in a Cincinnati suburb during the turbulent times of the 1960s, it didn’t look promising. It took hard work, discipline, and good coaching to become a champion in the world’s eyes in the NFL.

Only then did his dream of playing in the NFL and the Super Bowl become a reality.
