02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Raiders' run-heavy power-gap blocking scheme in 2014, emphasizing strong inside presence and downhill running, aligns well with Jackson's physical attributes and play style.

Left GuardRight GuardPower Scheme GGap Scheme G
Best role

Immediate starter at guard, with a ceiling to be a long-term Pro Bowl-caliber interior lineman adept at generating push in the run game.

Wrong fit

A finesse-based, zone-heavy scheme relying primarily on outside zone runs and agility for cutoff blocks would diminish his impact.

Jackson's substantial mass and strength make him an ideal fit for power and gap blocking schemes, allowing him to excel in securing the interior and paving lanes for the run game.

04The evaluation

Selected #81 overall in Round 3 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of Mississippi State.
