Tre Jackson OG Florida State #54
Wt: 330
Size/Athleticism: Big, physical presence on interior line. Does not carry his weight well and his weight should be monitored. However, he does move reasonably well for his size.
Pass Protection: Surprisingly inconsistent against the bull rush. Gets stood up too often and walked into the pocket. Does not have the length, balance or footwork to recover. Does not show the ability to redirect pass-rushers. Simply tries to lock on and hold his ground.
Run Blocking: Extremely aggressive. Explodes off the snap and delivers a nasty initial punch. Shows excellent awareness and is capable of finishing off a block and exploding to the second level to pick up another.
Intangibles: Has a daughter with long-time girlfriend.
Durability: Missed entire junior year of HS with torn ACL. Missed one game in 2013 with ankle injury. Missed five games in 2011 with groin injury.

Overview: Jackson excels in the run game and has the potential to be an asset to a power running team. However, he’s limited by his lack of athleticism and struggles in pass-protection at times. If he lost some weight and became quicker on his feet there might be some upside to his game, but he enters the league with the potential of a league-average starter whose options will be limited by scheme.
