IMPRESSION:
You can immediately tell Chevis Jackson has veteran knowledge of the cornerback position at the college level, with great reads and play recognition. Was under the tutelage of DB guru Nick Saban as a freshman. He’s a physical player who plays within himself, with a fiery attitude expressed on the field. He can get into trouble when not in control of his speed and surroundings, needs to tighten his coverage. A very good competitor, has the ability and the attitude to be an excellent press corner at the next level.
