At 6-foot-4 and 263 pounds, Brennan Jackson offers prototypical length and size as an outside rush linebacker. And it’s those measurements that project towards a versatile stand-up or hands-in-the-dirt defender depending on the alignment or package. Thus far, though, Jackson’s NFL career has been anything but prototypical. A fifth-round pick (154th overall) by the Los […]
