Andrew

Jackson

A player who should immediately be nicknamed “Old Hickory,” Jackson manned the middle for Western Kentucky, racking up 43 career tackles for loss. Standing in at 6-foot-1, 254 pounds, Jackson is a classic two-down ‘backer who will have to make his mark as a run stopper and special teamer.

Jackson (6-foot 7/8, 254) manned middle linebacker for Bobby Petrino’s Hilltoppers, tallying 43 career tackles for loss. A classic two-down thumper, Jackson is an aggressive phone-booth tackler but lacks range and will be a liability in coverage. He’s a downhill run stopper who will have to initially earn a roster spot on special teams.

The team waived/injured FB Mario Harvey in a corresponding move. A sixth-round pick out of Western Kentucky, “Old Hickory” is a classic two-down ‘backer.

A sixth-round pick of the Colts last season, Jackson recorded 13 tackles and one sack in 13 appearances in 2014. Already a talent-deficient, two-down player, this arrest could mark the end of Jackson’s time with the Colts.

Jackson, a sixth-round pick of the Colts last year, was arrested two times in nine months, getting busted for DUI and drunken driving. He played on 61 defensive snaps as a rookie but really made his mark on special teams covering kicks. The Colts had to cut him. He should get another look somewhere else this summer.
