Joe Jackson DL Miami

STRENGTHS
Joe is a deceivingly, good and an underrated Defensive End. He has good explosion off the line on passing downs, and on run plays does an excellent job taking on the double teams allowing his teammates to make tackles. He shows on film the needed foot speed to run players down from behind and has excellent effort on every play never giving up until he hears the whistle. Joe has all the ingredients to be an excellent defensive end in a 4/3 defense and requires offensive coordinators to game plan for him on every play. Like I stated before, he is a very underrated football player.

CONCERNS
Joe needs to learn better techniques to keep players off his body. Right now, he struggles to get free from all the double teams. He also needs to get stronger in his lower body to turn the corner when pass rushing, with more strength.

TALENT BOARD ROUND 1.94
Joe is up against more double teams than parents with twins. When singled up, his opponents just run to the other side away from him. On passing downs Joe needs to think more about getting into the back field and less about gap control but when he does, he is one of the best in the draft class at sacking the quarterback or disrupting the offense play. Watching him on film he is the only defensive lineman that other teams have to worry about so they load up against him. When Joe gets into the NFL, he will get better coaching and become stronger and I have no doubt become even more of a complete defensive end who gets double digit sacks and stops the run to his side. I have no doubts, other may because the see him getting double teamed but I know that’s the sign of an impact football player and Joe will be just that, an impact football player
