Landon Jackson’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
With 13 sacks and 25 TFLs over the past two seasons, Landon Jackson has been one of the more productive pass-rushers in the 2025 NFL Draft on the surface. Still, his projection has some complications.
At 6’6″, 264 pounds, with near-34″ arms, Jackson played some 4i at his size, particularly on early downs. He lacks the mass to function inside full-time in the NFL, but profiles well as an even-front defensive end, who can play support at 5-tech and rush from 7-tech and wide-9.
At his size, Jackson has elite explosiveness numbers, and that trait shows up on tape, along with impressive size-adjusted flexibility. He needs to unlock more of his power element, and pass-rush consistency remains an emphasis, but in the right role, Jackson can be a high-floor, high-ceiling addition.

Landon Jackson’s Latest NFL Draft Projection

Cummings said, “Profiling best as an even-front defensive end, Landon Jackson possesses a rare mix of size, length, burst, and bend, and there are bright flashes of hand proficiency on tape.”
