Pride of Detroit
Meko and Morgan are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel breaking down Lions’ draft pick Dan Jackson’s film from his final season at the University of Georgia.
Meko and I (Morgan) are back over on the Pride of Detroit YouTube Channel breaking down more tape from the Detroit Lions’ 2025 draft class. Next up, we are breaking down the tape of Lions’ seventh-round draft pick out of the University of Georgia, safety Dan Jackson.
Originally a walk-on, Jackson earned a starting job at safety in 2024 on what was once again a top-tier unit for the Bulldogs. For this study, we watched two games of Jackson’s final season in Athens—against the University of Texas and University of Alabama.
In both games, Jackson showed why he has the potential to be an impact performer on special teams. He is quick to diagnose plays in front of him, and is not shy about getting downhill and making a play on a ball carrier in the alley. And while the Lions are set with the league’s best safety tandem in All-Pro Kerby Joseph and Pro Bowler Brian Branch, Jackson has a chance to carve out a roster spot if he can impress Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp.
