STRENGTHS
If you’re looking for a corner who can shut down those big fast receivers whose job is to take the top of a defense, Khyree is your man. He is tall, lanky, fast, and physical, and loves to be challenged. He is a good tackler and comes up quickly to support the run. Khyree has the athletic talent to play more than one position in your defense backfield because of his speed, quickness, and sure tackling skills. If you get behind him in coverage he has the makeup speed, and length to make a play on the ball that others would be lucky to make. He can play in any style of defense and because of his high football IQ could be used in the robber position that allows him to free-lance and make plays all over the field. Khyree is a playmaker and a Defensive back that makes plays and that is what every team in the NFL needs and wants and Khyree will fit that need for sure.
CONCERNS
The top concern I have for Khyree, to be able to play, more than one position in your defensive backfield is that he has to learn to communicate better with his teammates. If he wants to be more than just a good player, he has to learn how to make his teammates around him better through leadership. Right now, on the field, he is all about promoting himself. I do understand that, nevertheless, that attitude has not allowed him to come close to reaching his full potential.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.46
Khyree can potentially be a “Derwin James” style of player. That is a player who can play safety, Corner, or in the slot. He can be used up close to the line of scrimmage or as a single safety covering from sideline to sideline and making tackles and interceptions. He has proven at the college level to be an excellent cover corner but because of his size, length, speed, and tackling skills, he can be much more than that. At least that’s what I see on the film, the potential to be a multi-position player who other teams have to know where he is on every play. If he is all over the defense instead of just playing one position it will be harder to game plan for him. If he is lining up and playing corner an offense can play to the other side and lessen his ability to impact. As a “Where’s Waldo” type of player he becomes more of a threat to the offense on every play. Khyree “Waldo” Jackson plays with the physicality of a linebacker or safety and has the athletic talent of a pure corner stuck into a 6’ 3” 203lb body with a 32-inch reach and has a high football IQ. The Charges Derwin James was selected in the 1st Rd at the 17th pick. These are the facts and they are undisputed.
