Hopefully they can forget his final moments on the field as a collegiate athlete. I know it’ll be a while before I do... best of luck

Good luck DJ

And with that’s said...come on down Pat Surtain Jr

You nailed it! Jackson never lived up to his potential, imo. Constantly got beat deep, and a poor tackler as well. He’s got speed, and if a team is willing to invest time in him, he could be a baller! I wish him luck and thanks for being a Tiger!

Someone’s gonna punch him.

Thanx Donte... hope you do well on the next level.

Vincent you got next!

Needed more development. He’s talented either way, and I wish him luck!

BOOM

BoogahEatah•76 months

Dude could dance his arse off after the opposing team's player made the first down and he made the tackle. #wellbye

Wish he was coming back, but he will have a good career.

Couldn't catch a hot butter biscuit, typically got trucked by running backs. I wish him luck at the next level or Wendys whichever comes first.

Pretty uneducated post.

eugene1928LSU•76 months

Ok Burger King then.

Wish him the absolute best. Loved watching him play. Good luck on your NFL career Donte.

Great Tiger, wish him well and the best of luck......BUT he was ineffective against great QB's, as well as big and tall receivers. Uhh, last I checked that is all the league has. He should have stayed and perfected his craft.

conman•76 months

What kind of draft grade did he get? Yet another who should have come back next year. I do wish you the best Donte

kbartj•76 months

I would like to see a report of the last 5 years of guys coming out early from LSU

JustinT37•76 months

Our Coaching Staff should have that report, hopefully.

Outside of the 15’ and 16’ draft classes we’ve had a lot of early entries. Had a lot of draftable guys come back for senior season in 2016

His speed will put him as a high graded corner.

Spankum•76 months

Best of luck in your NFL career, Jackson....and, thanks for being a Tiger!

Ceaux•76 months

Good

BowDownToLSU•76 months

The NFL drafts on potential. You can't teach speed. High round pick
