Once Malik Jackson adjusts to the 3-4 alignment, he could be positioned for the biggest success of his career.
For now, the emerging fourth-year defensive lineman will study to learn how his role changes as the Broncos move him from a role as a swing end/tackle in their previous 4-3 scheme to handling a five-technique role in the overhauled scheme.
"It's pretty different," Jackson said. "I've never played 3-4, so I'm pretty excited to get on the field and see what the techniques and everything are. In the classroom, it's looking good. I'm just trying to get used to it and familiar, and take it slow.
