    Defensive End | Senior | USC Lawrence Jackson
    Height: 6-41/4 | Weight: 271 | 40-Time: 4.76

    Official Bio

    Strengths:
    Has good size and bulk with long arms...Was super productive...Is quick and plays faster than he times...Strong and powerful...Stout and the point of attack and he holds his ground against the run...Instinctive...Technically sound...Uses his hands well...Offers some versatility...Has a ton of experience versus premier competition.

    Weaknesses:
    Very inconsistent...Does not have very good timed speed...He's not real explosive and lacks a burst...Repertoire of pass rush moves is unimpressive...Motor runs hot and cold...Won't scare anyone off the edge...Has some health/durability concerns.

    Notes:
    His brother, Keith, was an offensive tackle at Arizona...Was a four-year starter in the Pac-10...Has been bothered by ankle injuries throughout college...A solid but unspectacular base end with a nice, well-rounded game..He may never be an elite pass rusher in the pros but can be an adequate starter...Is not quite the prospect his press clippings would lead you to believe and might be a little overrated...Will play for a long time and could enjoy a pro career similar to that of Kenechi Udeze.

    What I find most interesting about this post is that it was our LB coach that ran the drills. Out of all the teams that were there to observe and grade the talent, ours was the one doing the coaching? That says either we have a lot of interest or that USC's staff has a very high opinion of our LB coach. Either way, it really gives us something to think about during draft season, doesn't it?
