A 6-foot-7, 249-pound quarterback with a 4.59 second 40-yard-dash in the books with a rocket-launcher of an arm, Tyree Jackson was supposed to be drafted. But it didn’t work out that way, as teams passed on taking 254 times. After the draft, the University of Buffalo product signed with the Buffalo Bills; many thought this was a good consolation prize, he wouldn’t have to move, and the Bills have just two quarterbacks on the roster.
However, Jackson is far from a guarantee to make the opening day 53-man roster. Despite his stature, athleticism, and massive arm (14.3 yards per target, per Pro Football Focus), there is a fair share of concern relating to the quarterback.
