Miami Hurricanes Jacksons selected by Dallas in fifth round of NFL Draft

Michael Jackson was coveted by NFL teams for his length and versatility. Jackson is projected as being able to play cornerback or safety in the NFL. The 6’1, 200-pound cornerback had 42 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks in 2018. Jackson’s six pass breakups were second on the Miami Hurricanes.

The Dallas Cowboys are two deep at free safety and cornerback. They are currently three deep at strong safety. Joe Jackson faces more of an uphill climb. Dallas is three deep at defensive end. Veteran Randy Gregory is on his last chance with drug suspensions.
