Player Bio: Michael Jackson Sr prepped at Spain Park High School in Birmingham, AL where he was rated as the number cornerback in the State of Alabama. Jackson was selected to play in the All-Star game with the states of Alabama vs Mississippi. Jackson would lead all tacklers with 12 tackles in the game. Jackson set his reputation in the State of Alabama as one of the states most premier defenders and spurn the University of Alabama. He signed his intent to attend University Miami over Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Nebraska. Even from the state of Alabama, neither Auburn or Alabama offered Jackson a scholarship. He would receive an offer from Clemson at the last moment but stayed with Miami. Jackson’s ability to finish a receiver’s route, track the ball in the air and ultimately create a turnover or incomplete were just a few of his admirable qualities. That type of ability showed during the years he was on the field wearing the "Turnover Chain."

​#28 Michael jackson vs Syracuse (2017)

Strengths: Very talented and a around great athlete. Ability to cover any sized receiver with any type of routes including crossing routes and the ability to close on the ball. Very physical, has good fluid hips, and the ability to come out the break. Excellent speed, and cover well in both and man coverages. Very aggressive tackler and plays with top speed. 

Weaknesses: Tends to get lost in coverages when suppose to be in zone is in man, blowing the coverages. Tends to overpusues the action and leaving others out to dry. 

Draft Grade: 5.45

Draft Projection:  6th Round

Does He Fit? Yes, has the great size and strength that is expected from the press coverage corner Wade Phillips expect. Ability to break on the ball on shallow crossing routes can turn him into good slot corner.
