I watched some of Jackson's video over this past week, and it made me remember some of the things I liked about him. Just watching his highlights will remind you a little of a taller Hobbs, which should put him right on NE's radar. Obviously he's been recovering from an ACL injury, but this could make him a fifth round steal. I think he's an underrated talent, who would fit NE's defense well.
