Dan Jackson

Good height, frame, and mass but arms and reach are shorter than desired. Very instinctive and aware – smart and assignment responsible. Keys quickly to plays in front of him – comes down hill in run support and hits with violent intentions. Breaks down well to secure the tackle in the open field. Battles in coverage and works back to the ball even when beat – extremely competitive. Physical and willing hitter – will bring the lumber on the hit. Enforcer type who looks for the big hit even when making a play on the ball would have been the easier play. Very little ball production with only three INTs and four passes defensed over the last two seasons – prefers the big hit to making a play on the ball. Great mental and physical makeup for special teams in the NFL.
