Breaking Down Khyree Jackson

With the 108th pick (fourth-round) in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Khyree Jackson, cornerback, Oregon. He was ranked 100th on the consensus board and the 11th ranked cornerback.

Top-Line Assessment

Jackson is a very long, physical cornerback who is best in press-man coverage. He is also physical and willing in run defense and can be effective as a blitzer. He also has special teams ability.

He’s only had 14 starts in college- most coming last season in Oregon- despite turning 25 later this summer. He needs a bit of development but has the skillset to be a quality starter as an outside cornerback.
