Analysis
What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about AUSTIN JACKSON before he made the Miami Dolphins' Depth Chart: Southern Cal, 6047 322 5.07. Junior entry, two-year starter, Phoenix, AZ. Grandson of Melvin Jackson, a five-year NFL lineman. First-team All Pac 12 in 2019. Has the tools and initial movement off the snap with an aggressive playing style and hustle that will get coaches excited about working with him. He can create solid torque and pop off the ball and has enough athletic ability to play outside. Light feet and a wide frame that can add and handle more bulk over the years. Shows good pop and athleticism off the ball. Can generate power from his speed and quickness. Shows the ability to anchor, and re-anchor when driven back into the pocket. Has fast hands that can strike hard but also react when initially beat. Plays aggressive, will look for work downfield. Lacks feel and instincts. Gets beat mentally and won’t adjust his approach afterward. Very inconsistent hand placement. Will get wide with his hands. Too often he is the second one to make contact, catches the defender instead of initiating the engagement. Needs balance and core strength improvements. OSR:4/41. First/ second round. (A-34 1/8, H-10 1/4, BP-27, 10-1.75).
