Justin Jackson RB Northwestern

Est 4th round
"heavy college workload, body type, and lack of top-end speed have helped detract from his amazing accomplishments at Northwestern in the eyes of NFL scouts. Despite his elite elusiveness and ability to play the role of pass protector and pass catcher, he is projected by most as a 4th-round pick currently, and may drop even lower as his recent cold stretch is accounted for (thanks, Northwestern offensive line). But if the contributions of the players above, especially Ellington and Abdullah, are any indication, than Jackson's skills will give him a chance to at the very least cut out a role for himself in today's NFL. And if things break right, he certainly has the capacity to be an every-down back."

Compared to Paul Perkins:
Decisive when working between the tackles, but can bounce it when warranted. Flashes sudden, 1-cut ability on stretch plays...Reliable hands when asked to help in passing game. Willing to stick his nose in against the blitz."
