Cowboys selected Miami CB Michael Jackson with the No. 158 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Jackson (6’1/210) was a two-year starter and four-year contributor in the Hurricanes’ secondary, tallying ten career pass breakups and four INTs and earning honorable mention All-ACC as a senior. Although Jackson’s college career was nondescript, he caught scouting attention by destroying the Combine for a 4.45 forty, 40 ½-inch vertical, and 10-foot-10 broad jump, good for top-eight SPARQ results among cornerbacks in Indy. Jackson looks the part as a plus-sized man-to-man corner, but his lack of college dominance is a big red flag considering his toolbox. He’s a college underachiever with NFL upside.
