Great pick! Got to watch him a few times this year and he stands out! Vocal, athletic, Leader and can diagnose plays. He’s going to be great being mentored by Demario! I think we got a steal.

Sunbelt player of the year. Must have been damn good to win that as a defender. Maybe it'll translate to the nfl

I like this pick.

HEIGHT: 6'0 3/4"
WEIGHT: 233
HAND: 9 1/4"
ARM: 32 1/2"
WINGSPAN: 6'5 7/8"
40-YARD DASH: 4.55
3-CONE: DNP
SHUTTLE: DNP
VERTICAL: 33"
BROAD: 10'5"
POSITIVES
— Great speed. Can play sideline-to-sideline and capitalize in space as a blitzer.
— Above-average change of direction.
— Flashes ability to trigger early and shoot through a gap into the backfield against the run.
— Quick and flexible enough to make himself a tough target for blockers to get hands on in space.
— Reliable tackler. Wraps up consistently and runs through the ball-carrier.
NEGATIVES
— False steps too often against the run. Prone to ending up behind plays and needing to rally late for tackles.

Fwiw, Jackson was the highest rated remaining player on Daniel Jeremiah's list

Finally! Promise I'm not being a homer, D'Marco Jackson should have gone a long time ago. Former Safety, he can really run and cover.

DMarco almost sounds like DeMario, we are in good hands.

From his Bio -
- 2-star coming out of high school but was a finalist for South Carolina's "Mr. Football" award.
-Redshirted his freshman year at App. St. and played in every game as a backup as a Sophomore.
-Named a starter his Junior year, 2nd team all conference. Started a second year and was named DPOY for the Sun Belt.
Guy screams making the most of his opportunities at every turn. This is the kind of pick that is so hungry that he'll never fail (hopefully).

I like it. This is definitely a BPA pick.
He'll most likely make this roster.

give him a year behind Demario and watch out
Posted on 4/30/22 at 2:05 pm to GMoney2600
Is that 3 seniors and 1 junior selected so far?
Posted on 4/30/22 at 2:07 pm to Jwho77
He moves extremely well laterally. He always seems to find the hole when attacking/blitzing and he reads ball carrier movement well too.
His tackling technique concerns me a bit though. He would definitely miss quite a few tackles at the NFL level unless it gets cleaned up.

Demario has more than a year left in him.

Old school, 2 down guy. Super productive but a liability in coverage.

Sounds like a guy who plays for the love of the game.
Probably be a monster on special teams as a rookie. Then, look out.

Looks a sure tackler who uses his strong hands to take people down. He projects very well to WILL.
