Khyree Jackson, a cornerback, was taken by the Minnesota Vikings in the 4th round of the 2024 NFL draft with the 108th overall pick. Khyree Jackson was one of the players to have entered the 2024 NFL Draft after spending five years playing collegiate football. The tall and strong corner has played for some of the top football programs at the collegiate level with stints for the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Oregon Ducks.
Jackson was a highly regarded defender coming out of high school as he made a huge impact on his high school football team. However, his time at Alabama limited him to a rotational player for two years which hampered his playtime. On the back of a First-team All-Pac-12 season with the Ducks, and a decent NFL Combine, Jackson is looking to make an impression in the NFL after the draft.
The Maryland native was an imposing corner who had all the physical qualities such as height and strength. Standing 6 feet 4 inches, Jackson’s height was more than enough to cover any wide receiver in the NFL with ease. Winning the contested battles and dealing with lofted balls would not have posed any problems for him, however, where he lacked was a bit of speed.
As per his scouting reports, Jackson was considered a quality backup corner with the potential to make the starting role provided he worked hard on his weaknesses. He had a real chance to make the team come regular season due to Vikings having a thin DB room.
