Ideal system
Fangio two-high
deep safetyfree safetynickel backhalf-field safety
Best role
A Day 1 starter as a centerfield free safety, capable of high-level ball production and providing range and intelligence to the secondary.
Wrong fit
A man-heavy scheme that regularly forces him into isolated one-on-one coverage against slot receivers or tight ends.
Jackson's keen instincts and ballhawking ability are best utilized in a zone-heavy scheme where he can read the quarterback and make plays on the ball.
