Another transcending talent gets traded to the Pats.

His ability to drop back in coverage is unparalleled.

some may not believe it , but according to several draft sites, particularly Ourlads, CB Michael Jackson was once a
regarded draft prospect going into his final year at Miami.

Cowboys hoped to keep him on their PS to further develop him when he had his struggles in preseason,
but he was pouched off our PS by Lions, and now apparently he is thought enough by the Pats to take a late round chance
at him. He has physical tools such as size speed wingspan to offer. It could pay off with the way Belichek operates and develops.

Once Mike learns how to run fast he will be a heck of an NFL corner.

Cant teach what he is missing and probably wasnt worth the 5th rounder Dallas spent on him.

The other Jackson from the same school and same round in the same draft has an outside shot.

This type of offseason screwed guys exactly in his boat.

He has talent, and a lot of it. He just cant run fast.

I wonder if Belichick has plans to make him a box safety or a hybrid type during this obvious rebuilding year for them.

https://247sports.com/college/miami/Article/Miami-Hurricanes-2019-NFL-Draft-CB-Michael-Jackson-Jackson-runs-a-fast-40-at-the-NFL-Combine-129700753/#:~:text=Former Miami Hurricanes cornerback Michael,40 at the NFL Combine.

He ran a 4.46 at the NFL combine. That's a good time for a tall CB.
He just did not play up to that speed on the playing field his final year.- nor did he in preseason games with Cowboys.
I've got some good friends that are UM alum and are very into football.

The knock on him was game speed. The 40 time is misleading. As far as what I saw and heard out of Dallas, about right.

I do wonder if, oddly, he would have a way better chance to make this years team given what they are now looking for.

I can also add that the consensus on Joe was much different, and that he should have been selected earlier. Should be a legit NFL DE. Let's see there. I'm hopeful for sure.
