    A receiver in Jackson's coverage area ha only bern targeted 5 times in 4 games so far. That is fear and respect.
    The downside for the fastest man in college football is that he isn't accumulating many stats or highlights tp impress the pro scouts. They are so afraid of Jackson that they continue to throw any frozen at Greedy Williams.

    That's something; I imagine scouts recognize this for the most part, and I think he'll look good at the combine.

    I had wondered why I never notice him on the field this season.

    Donte has definitely progressed. The other thing is why go after the 3 year starter when you can test a freshman in Greedy or an inconsistent guy like KT2? The scouts will identify the best players at corner especially as the NFL has become a pass dominant league. The fastest corner who locks down his side and rarely gets targeted will be picked high. Especially after the combine if/when Donte torches in the 40.

    Sort of like 2010 when nobody dared to throw at Patrick Peterson. Morris Claiborne had all the interceptions and pass breakups.

    Fuck stats dude is locking down his side of the field. He, Corey Thompson, and Devin White have played great this season so far.

    Was going to say especially white but then you think about 39 yr old Thompson and he's on pace to break the sack record

    I make fun of his age too, but damn it's nice to have a dude that's been around the block back there. It would be awesome for him if he were able to break the sack record as a 6th year senior.
