Stay or go? Donte Jackson leads a host of LSU underclassmen in requesting draft evaluation grades

Donte Jackson’s phone is always active, just like most 22-year olds in this digital-savvy world.

Lately, as the NFL Draft underclassman deadline inches closer, his phone has been more active than normal.

“Your phone doesn’t stop ringing,” said Jackson, LSU’s draft-eligible junior cornerback.

Who’s calling? Former LSU and current NFL defensive backs like Jamal Adams, Tre’Davious White and Jalen Mills.

“That’s the biggest thing that comes with this whole process,” Jackson said. “Your phone doesn’t stop ringing.”

Jackson is seeking and receiving advice on his future from ex-LSU players starring now on the pro level, each of them having been in his current proverbial shoes.
