### Donovan Jackson Draft Analysis by Lance Zierlein
**NFL Comparison:** Wyatt Teller
**Overview: "**Broad-framed three-year starter with core power and leg drive to hold the line of scrimmage or change it. He can stick and sustain in-line or on the second level and is a plus finisher. Jackson has the athleticism for all tasks as an outside-zone blocker. He is also able to accelerate and lead the way on long pulls or counters. He leans against stunting/slanting fronts, and he can be tardy in opening his hips and activating his feet for recoveries. He's long but punches with wider hands and struggles to consistently maintain his edges when mirroring. Overall, Jackson has the measurables, power and movement for any scheme as a starting guard.**"** [Full Donovan Jackson draft analysis on NFL.com](http://nfl.com/prospects/donovan-jackson/32004a41-4313-5702-a725-08f5f02e4781)
