Devon is a defensive end heading into the season with real momentum and expectations for a breakout year after showing steady production and growth. He’s built a foundation of consistent effort, and now the focus shifts toward turning that into more consistent backfield disruption.
What he does well is stay active on every snap. Devon doesn’t disappear in games—he keeps working through blocks, stays engaged through contact, and consistently finds ways to be around the football. That effort level is what allows him to stack tackles and remain involved even when he’s not the primary pass-rush threat.
As a pass rusher, he’s shown flashes of finishing ability, especially when he gets clean lanes to the quarterback. The next step for him is turning those flashes into more frequent pressure situations, where his get-off and effort can create more consistent disruption off the edge.
Jackson brings a physical edge to his game. He fires off with a quick first step, plays with good bend, and shows a relentless pursuit mentality. Against the run, he’s stout and disciplined, maintaining leverage and finishing through contact. There’s power in his lower half, and he doesn’t give ground easily. As his pass-rush plan continues to evolve, his production should follow. Heading into the fall, Jackson is a name evaluators should keep circled.
High-energy pass rusher with explosive get-off. Uses leverage and effort to consistently pressure the quarterback. Disruptive presence who forces hurried decisions and finishes plays with intensity.
