Lamar Jackson to the Jets UDFA
- Thread starter otismotis08

I have nothing but respect for Lamar and wish him well. He is a true husker who went through alot of change and turmoil and survived.
Ditto, have to upmost respect for Lamar. Just think if coach fisher would have had him all 4 years, imo he would have been a first rounder
Really surprised he did not get tabbed in the draft? Wonder what happened at the combine/pro day that hurt his draft stock?
both right, early in his Husker career He had issues with tackling and being aggressive against the run but his junior and senior years (basically under Fisher) he improved that area a lot and was decent to a sound tackler. He will definitely make a team some where.
With the right coach and in the right environment, LJ could become an NFL starter. The athleticism and talent are there. Always have been. Sure feels like we failed him to a certain degree.
Part of me wonders if hed been better off playing his high school position safety? He was a Top 100 recruit and the number 1 safety in the country for a reason. I think the biggest focus would have been helping him become a better tackler but I think he’d been a natural ball hawk as a safety.
