Detroit Lions 2016 NFL Draft Watch: Week 1

The Detroit Lions 2016 NFL Draft Watch gives you college football players to keep an eye on each week, who are also being closely watched by the Lions’ scouting staff.

Wisconsin (#20) vs. Alabama (#3)

8:00 p.m. (ET) – ABC

Eddie Jackson (#4) – DB – Alabama

Junior Eddie Jackson is primed to have a big role in Alabama’s secondary this season. In particular, Coach Saban noted Jackon’s keen instincts, which will allow him to play faster than his timed speed. He amazingly recovered in just five months from a torn ACL last pre-season and returned in time for the beginning of the regular season.
