#9 Tarron Jackson vs louisiana (2020)

#9 Tarron Jackson highlights

Strengths: He has a nice compact established frame with immeasurable strength that generates leverages at the point of attack while rushing between the gaps or from the edge. He is explosive off the ball, whether he is at standup or with his hand down in the ground. His versatility and his versatility show how tenacious and competitive he plays in the trenches. He has strong hands that allow him to transfer the offensive lineman to any direction in which he directs them. He will locate the ball quickly as he will keep his eyes in the backfield while in pursuit. He can go sideline-to-sideline, tracking the ball displaying great agility. He has a high motor that he continues to chase down the ball with his good closing speed. 
​ 
Weaknesses: He will need to add bulk and strength to his frame, as he lacks for the next level. Tremendously talented; however, he struggles to maintain strength against the more physical blockers. When he attempts to bullrush, his rush is upright, allows the lineman to stand him up as he loses leverage and penetration. He loses his strength and will struggle to disengage from blocks when he stood up. When he loses his initial drive at the point of attack, he seems to look lost or gives up on the play. He will get overaggressive and efficiently will be fake out on misdirections and counter plays. He has limited pass rush moves and shows tightness in the hip with a minimum bend from the edge. 

Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round

NFL Comparison: Frank Clark (Kansas City Chiefs)
