Darius Jackson Story. Jackson will look to become the first player from Eastern to be selected into the NFL since T.J. Lang was chosen 109th overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 2009 draft. He would be the 27th EMU player to be picked in the draft all-time, and the first running back since Gary Patton was selected 172nd overall by the New York Jets in 1988.
Great Ibe Story.
