NFL Mock Draft 2017: Another QB on top?

31. <p>There is not a prospect in this class that resembles Adoree Jackson. Sure, there are players that can match his size (5-foot-11 and 185 pounds) and, at least theoretically, some athletes that can come close to matching his pure speed, but Jackson is the best multi-purpose star available on the board with Jabrill Peppers gone, and he is a proven two-way option at the college level.</p> <p>Like Peppers, there is some projection built in when deciding where he’ll play at the NFL level. Jackson caught 27 passes for 414 yards and two touchdowns as a true sophomore, and he did that while playing full-time at cornerback for the Trojans. He also brings the element of being an electrifying kick returner to the table, and it would be unwise to sleep on his considerable talent and utility.</p> <p>In terms of NFL Draft projection, scouts are simply going to fall in love with Jackson’s speed. He is a legitimate track athlete at USC, placing among the top ten runners in the Pac-12 in the 100-meter dash and <em>winning</em> the Pac-12 title in the long jump. In short, he is an otherworldly athlete and if the on-field production trends in a positive direction during his junior season, this isn’t at all a crazy spot for Adoree Jackson to land in the draft.</p>. CB/WR. USC. Adoree Jackson. 14. player
