Kareem Jackson

Pros

Cons

Overall

Kareem Jackson is not a flashy cornerback, and doesn't make a lot of big plays, but when you turn on the tape, you will quickly see that he does almost everything right, and takes his receiver almost completely out of the game. Jackson's calling card is his physicality and experience in bump-and-run coverage, he gets a good jam off the line, and mirrors his receiver very well in man coverage. Fundamentally sound, gets low in his back pedal, fluid hips, and takes good angles to the ball. Jackson though does not have the height you would want out of a shutdown corner at only 5-10. He will never be a player who intercepts a ton of passes, but nevertheless he is a well rounded corner who gets the job done. He is N.F.L ready and can step in immediately and start for any team, and has the ability to matchup up with any receiver in the league. Kareem Jackson will be either the second or third corner off the board, sometime in the mid-to-late first round.
