Former Nebraska cornerback Lamar Jackson continues to try to raise his NFL Draft stock.
He just might have helped himself with a 36.5-inch vertical leap Sunday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, a mark that placed him in a tie for eighth among corners on hand for the annual event.
Jackson, who measured 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds earlier this week, comes off a breakthrough 2019 season, earning second-team All-Big Ten and team defensive MVP honors after recording 40 tackles (including four for losses), three interceptions and 12 pass breakups. It was a strong finish to an up-and-down college career for a player highly touted out of high school.
