ATHENS -- NFL scouts, coaches and general managers were nearly silent as they observed the 40-yard dash participants at Georgia’s Pro Day.
Then ‘Dirty Dan’ Jackson ran.
A low murmur broke out among the wall of NFL scouts, some of which couldn’t contain impressed expressions. Tens of stopwatches had slightly different numbers, but all reflected times around 4.40 seconds.
Some even caught Jackson under 4.40, which would make him one of the fastest safeties in the entire draft class if accurate.
Much like he did in his first few seasons at Georgia, Jackson took the lesser opportunity offered to him and made others look foolish for not giving him more.

I root for guys like this every year have been for the last 20 years or so. The longshots...sometimes they defy the odds and stick to a roster. Other times they're lucky to make a practice squad. I root for 'em either way.
Plus, you gotta love Jackson's story. Every opportunity he's received has been earned. I like his floor for special teams and feel Toub would absolutely love him. Even if he doesn't end up a Chief, I plan to keep tabs on his career.
