So not only did this kid burn LSU at the last minute only to go on and get kicked out of Tennessee for armed robbery and other behavior issues and now he left an FCS school early as a Junior with 0 hype around him?

Sounds like he is just full of sound decisions.

Because he was going to get tons of hype playing at McNeese? I don't like what the guy did to the tigers and I understand that armed robbery doesn't make you look any better, but i'm not sure how staying one more year would have helped his draft stock.

Why is that hard to believe? It's a consistently top FCS school and one of the few that puts people in the NFL on a consistent basis.

Good luck to him wasn't he working out with RR before the draft?

I just don't think that his situation would have warranted him getting drafted next year so there was no point in him staying. A kid from McNeese who is a solid player and didn't get charged with armed robbery may have gotten drafted but not Jackson. There were multiple players on fbs schools this year with past off the field issues who didn't get drafted much less ones from fcs.

you mean like Janoris Jenkins from North Alabama who was booted off another SEC school for multiple arrests in the 2nd round? Character issues matter, but scouts know who Janzen is, and they draft on potential and upside more than anything. he has PLENTY.

Yeah I think he will do pretty well if he grows up or learns how to act like an adult.

Unbelievable that this guy lost millions simply because he couldn't keep it together.
