AMHERST, N.Y.—Buffalo defensive end Damian Jackson has no expectation of growing emotional as he prepares for the final game of his college career this week.
At 30, and having had a healthy share of real-life experiences during two tours of duty with the Navy SEALs, Jackson isn’t built that way. Unlike many of his younger teammates, Jackson is independent, unsentimental, and self-aware enough to appreciate where football fits into his world.
