  • NFL Draft 2016 Scouting Report: RB Darius Jackson, E. Michigan
    2016 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT APRIL 10, 2016 NFL Draft 2016 Scouting Report: RB Darius Jackson, E. Michigan *Our RB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. *We use the term “Power RB” to separate physically bigger, more between-the-tackles–capable RBs from our “speed RBs” group. “Speed RBs” are physically smaller, but much faster/quicker, and less likely to flourish between the tackles. At his Pro Day, running back Darius Jackson ran a 4.40 40-time with a fantastic 41″ vertical to go along with a high-end 11′1″ broad jump. He also pounded out 20 reps on the bench press, while running terrific agility times in the three-cone drill. All this fantastic pre-draft showing has gotten Jackson is him being mentioned as a 'draft sleeper' for Draftniks, with national websites still asleep on him – ESPN lists him #30 among RB prospects (as of this writing), and not among their top 350 prospects overall. Credit to CBS for moving him to #17 among RB prospects, and #198 overall. All I can think of when I see the nonreaction to his Pro Day – I wonder what would've happened had Darius Jackson been invited to the NFL Combine, and produced these kinds of numbers? The TV commentators would've gone wild, he would've been the talk of the running back class that day, and his draft stock would've likely pushed towards more of a fifth-round status.

    SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Con- ference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University. The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans of Tennessee. In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, fi nishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home with it thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a blocked extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.
