Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson admits that he "believed his own hype" before his move to the club last year.

Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson has admitted that he was over-confident going into his first season with the club.

Jackson joined the Falcons last season after a nine-year spell with the St Louis Rams, where he was the club's star offensive player.

However, the Falcons struggled in the 2013 campaign while Jackson missed time with a hamstring injury.

"There were quite a few of the years in St Louis when I shouldered a large burden, and I knew going into every season what I was going into," Jackson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"When I came here last year, I kind of believed my own hype. The team was so close to going to the Super Bowl, and I thought I was going to be the missing link. Then reality slaps you. It's still a team sport."

Jackson recorded 734 yards and seven touchdowns for Mike Smith's side last season.
