Ourlads' Profile:
2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about DANE JACKSON: Pittsburgh, 5115 187 4.57. Three-year starter, Coraopolis, PA. Second-team All-ACC in 2019. Most often used as a press corner but also played off Cover 3 and hard corner Cover 2. Physical in press he can be disruptive at the line with two and off hand jams. Quick feet to maintain leverage at the snap and react to route breaks upfield. Will press and bail in zone and quick pedal into a lateral run. Able to break on the ball with a quick burst. Sudden reacting on throws in front. In hard corner reacts to delivery key to get under intermediate route in high low. Solid run support corner with shed and tackling ability. Shows false hop step on some route breaks which can create separation. Can be a step slow reacting at the snap to a quick route stem from press. At times is overly physical recovering and has had more than his share of holding and interference penalties. Has also gotten away with grabs but NFL officials won’t be as liberal. Occasionally beaten at the line and slow to recover. Recovery speed is average and a speed receiver can give him trouble. His skill and toughness will be attractive and he may fit with a zone team that mixes in press. Senior Bowl notes: Displayed solid footwork in a short space. Showed zone awareness playing hard corner and deep outside. Sudden break on the throw. Mirrored route breaks in one-on-ones and flashed ball skills. Deep speed a question as he was beaten on some extended routes. 2019 stats: 43 T, 3 TFL, .5 sack, 12 PBU, 1 QBH, 1 INT. OSR:25/ 29. Seventh round/PFA. (A-30 3/8, H-8 3/4, VJ-35, SS-4.27).
