In the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected cornerback Michael Jackson out of the University of Miami (Fla.) with the 158th overall pick. Standing at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, Jackson has the size to cover receivers of all sizes in the NFL. He will look to learn the defensive scheme under Cowboys defensive backs coach Kris Richard.
Michael grew up in Spain Park, Alabama and played football at Spain Park High School. He was graded by 247Sports as a 3-star recruit and had offers from Nebraska, Georgia, Miami, LSU, and Minnesota.
