Cornerback Jackson knows that with defensive freedom comes accountability

In a perfect world, Lamar Jackson would not be learning his third defense in as many seasons as a cornerback at Nebraska.

In a perfect world, he would not be building a rapport with a third position coach before his fourth semester of college ends, tasked with restarting, again, the process of learning what the man at the front of his meeting room wants and what he doesn’t.

There is a lot to learn under eight-year NFL veteran Travis Fisher, who came with Frost from Central Florida and is coaching both corners and safeties. Jackson, though, says so far he appreciates Fisher’s areas of emphasis: Know the assignment and make the play.
