Walter of WalterFootball has been WalterFootball'ing since 1999'. Older Content is being kept around here. Thanks for reading.
Strengths: Good size and body frame Three-year starter Smooth athlete with nice change of direction Comfortable in press and off-man Mirrors receivers well Above average speed Underrated ball skills Terrific at anticipating short routes Smart and instinctive Fluid hips Very confident Competitive and fearless Very well coached Displays great awareness of route recognition Polished and does the little things Tough in red zone
Weaknesses: Struggles to get off blocks Not a very physical hitter Only two interceptions as a sophomore and junior Somewhat inconsistent Gets a little lazy with tackling technique Needs to use hands better at the line of scrimmage
Summary: Jackson is a talented prospect with the tape to back him up, but he doesn't have first-round tape and is a liability against the run. Jackson has an impressive skill set overall and will be drafted anywhere from late first round to late second round.
Player Comparison: Marcus Trufant. Jackson isn't as consistent as Trufant, but he does have the skill set to be a very good corner.
