| NCAA | Jim Thorpe Award Nation's top defensive back | 2016 |
Jackson played in 10 games during the 2022 regular season, tallying 51 tackles (40 solo), seven pass defenses, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He added 14 tackles (11 solo) across New York's two playoff contests.
Jackson (back) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Able to regularly make plays busting up passes and disrupting, and is a top-tier inteceptions threat who makes QB's think twice. Very fast even for an NFL defensive back; a burner downfield, and also a good leaper who can get up and contest constantly. Additionally a superb return man, excelling on both kickoffs and punts. Needs to prove he has the strength to deal with pro opponents. Doesn't have ideal size for the pro secondary, and significantly needs more muscle mass and bulk on his thin frame. Would benefit by being a more high-volume tackler.
Long Range Potential: Instinctive cover cornerback with star tools, and excellent return man.
