Basically saying Donte Jackson wasnt that good is kinda crazy to me. He wasnt a bonafide superstar but the kid was an extremely solid corner. Just couldn't catch an interception to save his life. The second half of the Auburn game last year might be one of the best performances I've seen from an LSU corner in a long time. Kid was GLUED to any receiver that lined up across from him.

If he can add some good weight I think hes a starting corner in the NFL.

Edit: this post is pertaining to the post Sampson linked in the few posts above.

Donte Jackson was an average cornerback. Probably below average by LSU’s standards but his numbers and play tell a low C story. And I was saying that in the context of people overly concerned with replacing production opposite greedy. Averaging 25-35 tackles and one pick a season won’t be difficult to replace.

Jackson has physical talent but mentally he gave up a lot of big plays and penalties that cost LSU some games. If someone can fix this issue he will be a starting corner. Playing great for one game does not make you a good corner.
