We view Kenyatta Jackson Jr. as having similar physical traits and position-specific skills to Smith. Both are around 6-foot-5 with considerable length and a frame to add weight. Smith had a 35+ inch arm at the NFL Combine. Jackson measured with an 82-inch wing-span prior to his senior season. Both register as solid, not elite athletes for the position and win with their length, jump off the ball and bend around the edge. Jackson showed his pass rush skill set as a senior at Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna while racking up 18 sacks and leading his team to a state title.
