Tipster19 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Haha, love this kid’s attitude! He says he’s willing to do whatever to help the team, even if he has to play Ccnter! Lol! Check out around the 5:30 mark, he’s ready to go. Bills Mobile: Dane Jackson: "Play Aggressive Force Turnovers"
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 FWIW, my uncle who played college football at Colgate (DL) and has been a Pitt Panthers season ticket holder for more than 2 decades texted me after the pick. He told me that Dane Jackson, in his opinion, was the steal of the draft and is a “lock down” corner. He said that he thinks Dane fell so far because he played on such a ***** team. He was hoping his Steelers would select him. 14
Milanos Milano Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 I like his coverage skills and his tackling. He needs to learn to turn his head around and track the ball better. If he doesn’t he’s going to get called for a lot of PI. I thought he played really well against Clemson in 18’ , so if he can hold his own against Lawrence, I like his chances. 29 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: FWIW, my uncle who played college football at Colgate (DL) and has been a Pitt Panthers season ticket holder for more than 2 decades texted me after the pick.

He was hoping his Steelers would select him. I noticed quite a few snaps of his, they don’t even throw his way. That’s a pretty good sign. It’s not his fault if other teams are roasting other parts of the field that isn’t his responsibility.

Stranded in Boston Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 I just watched a Dane Jackson highlight reel. I don't think it included a single PD -- but man, can this kid tackle, or what! OK, it was highlights, but every tackle in the reel was picture-perfect, wrapping up legs, even in open field. Reminds me of Antoine Winfield in that respect. He should make a good special teams cover guy, if nothing else. 1 1
Milanos Milano Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 If Dane can be a McKelvin, I think that’s a huge get for a 7th rounder. 7
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) guessing this is posted somewhere. He looks just like some of the other nickel depth corners that have done nice work in this scheme. Highlights show great open field tackler, attacks ball carrier, instinctive, solid in run support.

He didn’t show up a lot in games because teams just stopped throwing in his direction. He also said he is a very good tackler. Aggressive. 2

His coverage style, ball skills, and tackling seriously remind of McKelvin. Just not quite as fast as he is.

He was hoping his Steelers would select him. A friend of mine that is a Pitt grad and follows their football program told me similar things about Jackson today. He's a tough kid with excellent coverage skills and is not a head case. It all sounds like what we are beginning to expect from Beane's selections. I guess we'll see how it plays out in camp.

Happy Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Dane Jackson is also 5'11 180lbs. I don't doubt his college record, but am skeptical he can repeat this in the pros; I say that just because the talent jump from college to professional. At the least, he will need to add some muscle mass.

It’s not, but that’s who Dane reminds me of. Especially his coverage and tackling style. He’s aggressive and is probably going to get PI just like him. 2 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: Dane Jackson is also 5'11 180lbs.

He has shown pretty good football IQ on a lot of the clips I’ve seen, peeling off his man on anticipation. A lot of times McKelvin would follow his man down the field even if the play went elsewhere. 1
Milanos Milano Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 The was like the number 1 thing I hated about McKelvin, the dude would just be oblivious to other parts of the field at times.
