Alabama safety Eddie Jackson is the focus in the 17th installment of an 18-day series that will highlight draft prospects who could land with the Patriots in the third round (pick No. 72) of this month’s draft. Of course, it’s possible the Pats will wind up with first- and second-round picks before all is said and done. But for now, they start in round three, which is our target area. Be sure to come back each day for a new installment of the series.
Key Stats
The 6-foot, 201-pound Jackson had a terrific junior season where he made six interceptions and returned two for touchdowns, but his senior year was cut short a little after the midway point by a broken leg on a punt return.
