Being a graduate of Hazlet's Raritan High School myself, I couldn't resist posting this picture of a fellow Raritan Rocket, Bennet Jackson. After playing collegiate ball at the University of Notre Dame, Bennet was selected by the NY Giants during the 6th round of the 2014 NFL Draft this past Saturday.
I believe Bennet Jackson will be the only football player in Raritan's history to play in the NFL, let alone be drafted. That puts him on top of all the other sports players in school history - including myself - who was one of five co-captains of the 1982 Raritan Rocket football team.
So from one former Raritan Rocket to another I wish to Congratulate Bennet Jackson on being chosen in the 6th rd pick of the draft by the Giants. I wish him a long and successful career that someday ends with enshrinement into the Football Hall fame in Canton.
