They have been link to the FL kid, lots of attention - Cam jackson Draft Profile: Bio A mountain of a man who took the long road to SEC football, Cam Jackson's journey from Haynesville High School through Memphis to Florida shows the steady development of a defensive tackle still scratching the surface of his potential. The Louisiana native spent three seasons with the Memphis Tigers, gradually working his way from special teams contributor to All-AAC performer, before taking his talents to Gainesville to test himself against college football's elite. The 6'6", 342-pound behemoth made an immediate impact in the SEC trenches, earning conference honors and establishing himself as a force in the run game. His senior campaign saw him rack up 37 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and his first two career sacks, saving his best performance for last with a dominant showing against Florida State that earned him a season-best 77.5 PFF grade. Jackson's development arc tells the story of a player who's consistently added tools to his toolbox. From his game-winning blocked kick as a freshman at Memphis to his emergence as a reliable run-stuffer in the SEC, he's shown steady progression. His invitation to the Senior Bowl marks a fitting capstone to a college career that saw him total 120 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks across 46 games between Memphis and Florida. Scouting Report: Strengths Mammoth frame with rare length and natural anchor ability - carries 342 pounds remarkably well and uses his 6'6" frame to eat space and clog running lanes effectively Shows some nasty when stacking and shedding - violently disengages from blocks using powerful hands and impressive grip strength to toss aside interior linemen Natural power jumps off the tape in the run game - consistently stones single blocks at the point of attack and flashes the ability to split doubles Advanced awareness and play recognition for his size - keeps his head on a swivel and shows good instincts tracking the ball through traffic Length creates problems for shorter interior linemen - uses his wingspan effectively to lock out and control blockers before discarding them Better lateral movement than you'd expect - can work down the line and mirror zone runs despite massive frame Strong hands and wrap-up technique as a tackler - when he gets his mitts on runners, they typically go down on first contact Flashes some juice as a power rusher - can walk back centers and collapse the pocket when he times up his bull rush Scouting Report: Weaknesses Conditioning is a major concern - visibly gasses out during longer drives and effectiveness plummets when forced to stay on the field Raw as a pass rusher with limited counter moves - relies almost entirely on bull rush and needs significant technical development Pad level becomes an issue as he tires - stands up out of his stance and loses leverage battles he should win Below average first step and explosiveness off the ball - won't threaten many gaps or disrupt blocking schemes with penetration Struggles to disengage quickly when squared up by double teams - can get stuck on blocks too long once engaged Scouting Report: Summary Jackson profiles as a developmental two-down run stuffer with the physical tools to grow into more. His combination of size, length, and natural power will intrigue teams looking for a rotational nose tackle who can anchor against the run while they develop his pass-rush arsenal. The stamina concerns will likely push him down draft boards, but his performance against top SEC competition suggests he can contribute early in a limited role. Teams running multiple fronts will particularly value his versatility to line up anywhere from 0 to 3-technique. His best fit comes in a defense that can utilize him situationally while their strength staff works to transform his frame and improve his conditioning. If he can maintain his play strength while dropping 15-20 pounds of bad weight, Jackson has the tools to develop into a reliable early-down defender with some untapped upside rushing the passer. With proper development, Jackson could follow a similar trajectory to players like Dexter Lawrence - massive interior defenders who learned to maximize their physical gifts while expanding their impact beyond just stuffing the run. His floor appears to be a rotational run defender, but his ceiling will be determined by how much he can improve his conditioning and technical refinement. A Day 2/3 selection feels appropriate for a player with his blend of immediate utility and developmental upside. -
Hahaha luckily we didn't run it back with those guys. Plus D Brown is back healthy... So we should be improved a little, at minimum, hahaha -
