Another speed rusher that SF has spoken with at the combine. He was a high end recruit that never really broke out into that super star edge at USC. He was 275lbs in 2019 then trimmed up to 255lbs in 2020.

Measurements:

6' 3"
255lbs
10 1/8" hands
34" arms

From what I've watched he's got the bend and explosiveness/twitchiness you like. Doesn't seem to have a ton of counter moves, but he's got some tools to work with. I'd like him to get up into the 260s to get stronger. His hands need work, I'd like him to be more violent there.

I've seen him going in the 2-4 rd.

USC DE Drake Jackson is going to be getting lots of buzz/attention this fall #2022NFLDraft

Trimmed down to 255lbs in 2020, after coming to USC & playing 2019 at nearly 275lbs

Can win in a variety ways as a rusher - love the inside moves (spin/rip) & then a 3-tech win 1on1 vs OG pic.twitter.com/ueNVwehHd2

Drake Jackson - quick and twitchy

Thought his game against Colorado last weekend was the best version we've seen of him pic.twitter.com/4Ctu7N4HUT

USC EDGE/OLB Drake Jackson (6035, 255, Jr.) is an urgent athlete that primarily plays standing up, but can also put his hand in the dirt. There's tools on the shelf to unlock, but he must continue to develop vs. the run and improve his strength levels. https://t.co/TskhDfzRy0 pic.twitter.com/bvEwlvTii3
