William Jackson III (CB), Houston

6’0” | 189 lbs.

2015 stats:

43 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 5 INT, 23 PD, 1 FR

Projection:

1st Round

Scouting Report:

"Tall cornerbacks with length who can run and play the football are usually in high demand and that could be the case for Jackson as well. While he has the traits for the position, the league is turning into small and fast or big and strong at the receiver spot and handling those two elements could take a year or two for him to improve in before he becomes a full-­time starter." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
