Detroit Lions enthusiasts have something new to delve into, as the Pride of Detroit YouTube Channel hosts Morgan and Meko return with their latest film analysis. This time, their focus is on the Lions' seventh-round draft pick from the University of Georgia, safety Dan Jackson.

Dan Jackson's journey to the NFL is one of perseverance and determination. Initially joining Georgia as a walk-on, Jackson worked tirelessly to secure a starting position at safety for the Bulldogs by 2024. During his tenure, he contributed significantly to what was consistently one of the top-tier defensive units in college football.

Morgan and Meko meticulously reviewed Jackson's performances in two of his final collegiate games—one against the University of Texas and the other against the University of Alabama. Their analysis revealed that Jackson demonstrates instincts that could make him a vital asset, particularly on special teams. His ability to quickly diagnose plays and his willingness to make aggressive downhill tackles highlight his potential value to the Lions.

Although Detroit's safety positions are currently locked up by top talents such as All-Pro Kerby Joseph and Pro Bowler Brian Branch, Jackson presents an intriguing option for adding depth. Impressing Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp will be crucial for Jackson as he seeks to secure a spot on the roster.
