He's got fine size (5'11", 189), but he's not a special athlete by college football standards. For Notre Dame, he played almost exclusively zone defense, but even then he gets beat because he really struggles to turn his head around. He's clearly a passionate player in coverage, but his run support is really soft. I wish him well, but the NFL chews players like Jackson up -- he's going to have to show he's got the goods on special teams, if he gets a chance at all. Jackson was a former receiver for the Irish, so teams might be intrigued in his ballskills since that's vogue right now. But I'd pass altogther, especially for a press-man scheme like ours in KC.

Do. Not. Draft.
