What he brings to the table

A three-year starter at Nebraska, Lamar Jackson was one of the Cornhuskers’ most reliable players.

Jackson has rare size for a cornerback, standing at 6-foot-2, 208 pound with length to match. His long arms and big frame can certainly match big-play wide receivers, but the one area that he struggled in at Nebraska was covering vertical speed. Still, Jackson is the type of cornerback the Jets are looking for. New York likes big-press corners who are physical. He’ll fit perfectly into Gregg Williams’ defensive scheme.
