Oregon CB Khyree Jackson Wants To Play For Mike Tomlin Due To Coach’s ‘Dawg Mentality’

On the field, Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson brings a real passion to the game. He’s very demonstrative and fiery, providing great energy to the defense.

That shows up in his play style, too, as he’s a physical cornerback who loves to stick his face into the fire and make plays.

Jackson’s style has him wanting to play for someone like Pittsburgh Steelers longtime head coach Mike Tomlin.

Speaking with reporters Thursday at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Jackson stated that he wouldn’t mind playing for Tomlin at all because Tomlin has that “dawg mentality” and that Tomlin likes players with attitude and swag on the field.
