Mark Jackson, a former Gaelic football player from Ireland, is trying out at the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie minicamp after being recruited through the NFL Pathway Program. He is adjusting to American football and hopes to make an impact as a kicker on the team.
Despite his different background, Jackson believes his skills are transferrable from Gaelic football to American football, especially his kicking abilities. He impressed with a 70-yard field goal during training and is determined to secure a spot on the 90-man roster for the Steelers.
