Detroit Lions 2019 NFL Draft Profile: Quarterback Tyree Jackson

Norton Shores is nearly 200 miles apart from Motown. Tyree Jackson, who hails from the west side city of Michigan, is in the cross-hairs of the Detroit Lions.

Just recently, the Lions reportedly visited Jackson at his alma mater of Buffalo. This wasn’t the only time both parties have met either. He’s even played at Ford Field already, the 2018 MAC Championship game.

Beside the obvious size intrigue (6-foot-7, 249 pounds), the former Bulls passer is wildly talented. Throwing ability that’s off the charts and excellent athleticism has put the red-shirt junior in a category of his own among the other quarterbacks of this draft class.
