Profile

Summary:Jackson is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in recent memory, and not just because of his 2016 Heisman Trophy. He holds numerous school and ACC records and put up eye-popping statistics during his career at Louisville. Jackson chose not to participate in on-field workout drills at the combine but did throw with fellow quarterbacks.

**Lance Zierlein of NFL.com** wrote Jackson's athleticism is second-to-none, describing him as an "elite playmaker with rare ability to hit home runs with his arm or legs." Zierlein also noted that Jackson can hold his own in the pocket as the "ball comes out with flick of the wrist reminiscent of Michael Vick" and that Jackson "can drive it with velocity."

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks has Jackson as his **fourth quarterback** in the draft. NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock had Jackson **tied for fifth*** *in his quarterback rankings before and after the combine. ESPN draft expect Mel Kiper, Jr., listed Jackson as the No. 5 quarterback in his most-recent rankings.

Louisville legend: Jackson became the first Louisville player to win the Heisman Trophy when he did so in 2016.
