PLAYER ANALYSIS
A big back with an imposing frame, Jackson is a one-speed runner lacking burst and juice in the open field. He reacts to traffic once he gets into the run but isn’t proactive enough in his early reads to set up linebackers and unlock the lane. He’s too slow getting in and out of cuts, allowing defenses to rally and tackle quickly. He plays with adequate lane choice and can add yards after contact with his size and leg drive. Jackson's size and strength will appeal to teams but a lack of functional speed and third-down value limit his ceiling.
