Quote:
Don Jackson
School: Nevada
Position: RB
Positive: Junior-college transfer who's started the past two seasons, posting a career-best 1082 yards rushing and 8 TDs as a senior. Short but creative ball carrier with next level potential. Runs with good lean, patient and sets up defenders then makes them miss. Quick footed, sidesteps piles and possesses the agility necessary to turn the corner. Sees the field, finds the running lanes and has a burst which he turns on in a single step. Terrific job helping the quarterback sell ball fakes, displays good blocking vision and a solid pass catcher out of the backfield.
Negative: Not a back that's going to pick up much yardage off initial contact. Cannot beat defenders into the open field or run to daylight.
Analysis: Productive the past two seasons, Jackson projects as a third-down back/situational runner on Sunday.
