What Are They Saying: ''Superb concentration on the ball... Makes difficult catches in traffic...Excels at running underneath routes, but has speed and burst to turn them into long gains...'' Vic Carucci (NFL.com).
''Among an average group of receivers, he will probably test out well athletically in all phases of evaluation. He is a disciplined receiver who produces and should contribute immediately as a starter in three wideout sets. He has the makeup to become a fine No. 2 receiver with the ability to go over the middle. He will most likely go in the top 30 prospects, late in the first round.'' - Rivals.com
''NFL teams don't know how effective he can be on deep routes because he didn't run many of them in college.'' -Vic Carucci (NFL.com)
''While he certainly could have finished with a better season had he returned as a senior, Jackson should benefit from coming out early to be part of what shapes up as a comparatively weak wide receiver class in 2006. With an outstanding combination of size, speed, athletic ability and hand-eye coordination, Jackson is an underrated prospect with a great deal of NFL upside.'' - Scout.com
