Maybe 4.3 hand timed. An electronic 4.49 for a college corner is two standard deviations above average for the position.DoogCourics said:
Did Miller have 4.3 speed coming out of high school? Because he ran a 4.49 at the combine.chuck said:
Miller had 4.3 speed and rare twitchiness to go with gumby like length. He was only a project in that he was skinny.insinceredawg said:Up to 190lbs now according to the latest Ektard interview. That's about the same size KT was coming in. Definitely not a Jordan Miller type project.
I'm suitably impressed with this guy's looks. I'd be surprised if he can match some of the other traits Miller came with. If he can then holy shit.

The combine gives was cracks at it for a guy who has struggled to get healthy and in game shape, let alone underwear Olympics shape. Or maybe the accumulated wear has just coat him some speed.Baseman said:

“I heard a lot of great stories about him,” said Jackson, a three-star cornerback at Lawndale. “When I first saw him, my impression was, ‘Dang, that’s Coach Lake. That’s a legend.’ ”Beno4Life said:Love Elijah's and Makell's comments here https://theathletic.com/1455011/2019/12/12/washington-jimmy-lake-recruiter-his-fire-and-passion/
Jackson’s teammate, three-star safety Makell Esteen, held Washington’s defensive coordinator in similar regard.
“You could tell by the way he talked, his handshake, just the way he carries himself when talking,” Esteen said. “They were saying he was the best DB coach. It amazed me. I wanted to go with that.” -

Found this interesting:
Opposing Coach's View - "The thing we always were aware of with (Jackson) was that he was aggressive. You could get him on double-moves, but he learned quickly and he recognized routes really well, so you may get him once, but you wouldn't get him again. Another thing I noticed when we scouted him was that his change of direction, especially for a bigger guy like him, was outstanding. There was no wasted motion and he wasn't stiff. He could turn and run with you. I think he'll be great in their system (at Washington) because they play more zone up there and he's excellent at sitting down in his zone and reading the quarterback. He got his hands on a lot of passes. I didn't see a guy who was great at catching the ball, so that's something he'll have to work on. In run support, he's like a safety. He'll come up and hit you. He needs to be better at taking on blockers, especially in college, but that should come with coaching. Overall, I think he's got a great future in college. He might not be an elite guy, but he'll be a solid two or three year starter for them and he'll have a future in the NFL because of his size and athleticism."
Opposing players' view - "One of our receivers was a speed guy. When he lined up against (Jackson), we just said to run by him because he wasn't a speedy guy. He wasn't slow, I'm not saying that, but he wasn't a guy who could run with our guy. Once our guy did that once though, (Jackson) backed off to eight yards and then when our guy tried to run past him again, he blew him up on the jam. It was impressive in our film study the next day. He just blasted him. In run support, we couldn't do anything to his side. He was so physical with the receivers and tight ends, he could just seal the edge and either make our guy cut it up inside or he'd make the tackle on the outside. Really strong and physically imposing guy. He can play."
