The Eagles select Tarron Jackson with the No. 191 pick in Round 5 of the 2021 draft.
A high-motor player lacking size as a pass rusher, Jackson has 11 tackles in 18 games, with one sack and one forced fumble. This preseason could be his final attempt at carving out a role on an NFL roster.
The former Coastal Carolina pass rusher logged two tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, one pass defended, and two QB hits in Saturday’s preseason finale.
