PLAYER ANALYSIS
Compact slot receiver with a lack of impressive production but flashes of talent as a zone-beater on intermediate routes. Jackson doesn’t have early explosiveness into the route, but he builds up speed cruising through open spaces. He’s not a natural hands-catcher but didn’t drop many balls and showed an ability to catch through contact in 2022. Jackson needs an accurate passer due to his limited catch radius and jump-ball potential. Given his kick return ability and willingness to get after it as a blocker, he has avenues to a roster spot.
