Overview
- Green Bay drafted Jackson in the sixth round at No. 201 on Saturday, following an earlier pick of corner Brandon Cisse in Round 2.
- Jackson is a former five-star recruit from Mater Dei who measured about 6-foot-1 and 194–196 pounds and ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash.
- He played two seasons at USC before transferring to Alabama, where he started 23 games and logged two clutch interceptions in 2024 against Georgia and South Carolina.
- His draft stock slid in 2025 after a rib injury, a midseason benching and a production dip to 39 tackles with one pass breakup.
- Analysts view him as a developmental fit with zone defenses who needs sharper technique, stronger tackling and special-teams impact to make the Packers’ 53-man roster.
