The second entry in our Kansas City Chiefs draft prospect series takes a look at some potential help at cornerback with a talented player out of Miami.

Welcome back! This week we’ll continue our Kansas City Chiefs draft prospect series, a breakdown of players the Chiefs may (or may not) be interested come draft time in April. Today we’re taking a look at a lengthy cornerback from Miami University, Michael Jackson Sr. This was actually one of the names suggested in the comments of my last prospect spotlight. So be sure to let me know who else you want me to watch in the comments, or shoot me a tweet @arrowheadtom.

No, not that Michael Jackson. Our prospect today is listed at 6’2 and 195 pounds so Jackson has the size that the modern NFL covets. Jackson is more than just a big frame, however. He has been a productive player on the field for the Hurricanes since he arrived. Jackson contributed on special teams early, but enters his senior year as a regular starter after a breakout junior campaign that saw him earn Second Team All-ACC honors. 

Jackson has no off the field issues and no major injuries of note. This is important, as the old saying goes “Your best ability is your availability.”
