Running Back Rank: #59
Overall: #257
Jackson was given a shot to take over as the Packers starting back, but that didn't materialize and Ryan Grant emerged as their guy. Jackson can be the No. 2 back, though, and serve as the third-down option. He is a solid pass catcher, catching 16 passes in limited action. Jackson runs hard and has good speed. He also can make people miss, especially in the open field. He needs to a do a better job of setting up his blocks, though. | |
| His numbers should improve, but not enough to make Jackson a guy to target in your draft. He might be worth taking if you have Grant, but even that might be a bit of a stretch. |
