In a recent interview on the Da Get Got Pod with Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson, Jackson detailed his daily schedule. \"I get in at 6:30 a.m., and I leave at 2 p.m.\", he stated. He emphasized that the length of the workday does not equate to success. \"You can still get out-schemed, you can still get out-worked,\" he added. This stance drew a response from Richmond head coach Russ Huesman, who questioned Jackson's approach. During a MEAC coaches call, Jackson clarified his position, explaining that while he leaves the office at 2 pm, his actual workday often extends until 10 pm. \"You say anything, man, it’s clickbait...I'm there.

Jackson seemed to directly address Huesman, telling him to focus on his own business instead of criticizing his schedule.",
