Georgia's Gritty Walk-On DB Turned 7th-Round Steal for Lions
Dan Jackson, a 6-1, 190-lb safety from Georgia Bulldogs, exploded in 2024 with 64 tackles (47 solo), 2 INTs, 1 FF, and 1.5 TFL despite a prior foot injury sidelining him early in 2023—showcasing his ironclad toughness and big-play instincts in clutch moments like forcing a game-changing fumble vs. Georgia Tech in an 8-OT thriller[1][3][4]. This walk-on leader brings relentless intensity, special teams prowess (punt block vs. Arkansas), and SEC pedigree, making him a perfect versatile, high-motor fit for teams needing depth and heart at safety[1][2][4].
