Jackson recalls spending time with Dickerson earlier in his career but has lost touch lately.
"He's always been nice to me, he's always been available for me to talk to," Jackson said. "I've always been a fan -- I'm a little biased -- toward big running backs.
"His speed, his awareness on the field, his vision, I think he embodies everything that I would like to be."
Beyond the elements that make a successful running back, Jackson has tried to set an example for younger players to follow. After a promising beginning to the season, the Rams (2-3) had a dud last week in an embarrassing 44-6 loss at Detroit.
His advice: It's only one game.
"You don't want to get caught in looking back and having regrets about it," Jackson said. "You've just got to learn from your mistakes, not want to have that feeling again and focus on the next team because the next team is what's the most important."
