02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Titans' defensive scheme is a multiple front, zone-heavy scheme leaning on a diverse set of pressures and Cover 3 principles, often using 4-2-5 personnel.
Strong SafetyNickelbackDimebacker
Best role
Immediate special teams ace and sub-package defensive back with potential to develop into a starting strong safety.
Wrong fit
Man-heavy schemes that would expose his athletic limitations in open-field coverage.
Jackson's versatility and physicality are a good match for Tennessee's defensive philosophy, particularly in sub-packages where he can play closer to the line of scrimmage.
