Broncos Draft Board: Analysts see “endless” upside for USC tackle Austin Jackson, who spent last offseason donating bone marrow

EDITOR’S NOTE: One of a series of profiles on draft prospects who would fit the Broncos’ needs.

Every year, the NFL draft is full of players who have “red flags” on their character.

USC offensive lineman Austin Jackson, expected to be picked late in the first round of a draft heavy in tackle prospects, is on the opposite end of that spectrum.

Jackson is coming off a strong junior year with the Trojans in which he started all 13 games at left tackle after taking the previous offseason off, and missing part of fall camp, in order to donate bone marrow to his sick younger sister.
