NFL Draft Prospect
Interview: Kyle Jackson, S, Florida
by Michael Abromowitz,
4/4/08. There is one thing I evaluate more than
anything when it comes to safeties: it's if they can hit.
And after one clip of this entertaining video I know Kyle
Jackson can hit with the best of them. Jackson has great size
and solid speed for a safety and looks to be a solid pick in the
later round where he can help immediately on special teams.
