I'm not sure why people don't take you seriously. You really seem to know what you're talking about. Well informed, solid poster IMHOTIFWIWLOL.

Sorry you don't like it. Nkemdiche is overrated and will be drafted way too high based on hype and measureables.

What was Jackson's height, weight and 40 time? Just curious. I know he was decently tall but I can't remember how big he was.

---

He's 6'4 296 now, was 285-290 when he was drafted I believe. He ran a 4.8 or 4.9 I think, I'm not positive on that.

Huh.... Didn't realize he and Robert were that close in size. Robert is 6'5 295 last i looked and he allegedly ran a 4.5 forty at some point in the last year. I think he'll break some records at the combine. Also you have to keep in mind that Nkemdiche plays defensive tackle. Jackson was/is a defensive end, isn't he?

I'm like 98% positive he's just fricking with 'ya. You've been a tad rustled lately in a lot of threads. Saw you bit hard on a few posters saying Ben simmons is the next lebron

relax

---

Yeah after a few posts I finally looked at his username and realized what was going on

My troll meter isn't as good as it used to be.

Well I'm an Ole Miss fan so if someone hand clocked him at 4.1, I'll defend it

Jackson played DE at LSU, but didn't have the explosion the play it in the NFL. He was too small to play NT and too long to play DT.

I think Nkemdiche is going to find himself in a similar position and wind up being a run-stopping 3-4 DE, which is what Jackson is now.

Also, keep in mind Jackson was a good athlete for his size. 30 inch vertical and 4.8 second shuttle.

When you have all of that size and talent but can't be successful, it's all mental at that point. Not saying Jackson is a mental midget or anything but if he hasn't produced it's because he's not mentally there. Not because the talent isn't there. Robert does need to mature some for sure.

I don't think it was mental for Jackson. I think he was drafted to be a pass rusher and just didn't have the speed to get to the QB. He's one of the best in the league against the run in a 3-4 though.
