Film Notes and Highlights

McKinnley Jackson film would be best described as inconsistent. From his pad level, contact balance, hand placement, and burst – there are times when it looks elite and times when it looks mediocre. He does have good strength and quick hands which allow for him to take advantage of slower OL, but you’d like to see him win more consistently. He’s a space eater given his strength, but his size could be an issue at the NFL level. I believe Jackson is a Day 3 prospect. – Thomas Christopher
