Syracuse Football: Trishton Jackson reveals dream NFL fit at next level
Former Syracuse football wideout Trishton Jackson recently released his dream NFL fit at the next level. Here are all the details.
Trishton Jackson is one of several former Syracuse football alum that has entered the 2020 NFL Draft.
There’s a lot of speculation regarding his draft position, but according to the latest seven-round NFL mock draft from Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, he believes Trishton will be selected in the sixth round by the Buffalo Bills.
Jackson recently joined Boy Green on The Score 1260 to reveal which teams he would love to play for if he got to choose:
"“It’s crazy over the last several years I’ve always had it in my mind that I wanted to play wherever Tom Brady is. Another place I’d love is joining the Cincinnati Bengals. They have AJ Green and Tyler Boyd so they’d be fun to play with. So if I could pick either one of those places would be cool, but really anywhere is fine for me wherever I get drafted to.”"
On the surface the Bengals pick is a bit odd, but when you dig a bit deeper it makes a ton of sense. At the NFL Combine, Trishton connected with former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow who is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick by Cincinnati.
The other location he mentioned is playing with Tom Brady who switched teams this offseason from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team does have a vacancy at wide receiver after losing Breshad Perriman to the NY Jets.
It’s eery how similar Perriman and Jackson are from a style standpoint. Jackson could bring speed and an ability to make plays down the field to the Tampa offense that would pair nicely with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
One team that has done a ton of homework on Trishton Jackson are the NY Jets according to sources. Whether that be FaceTime calls (NFL teams are allowed up to three video conference calls with prospects a week but they can’t be any longer than an hour in length per call) or deep conversations with the Syracuse football coaching staff.
This offseason the Jets lost wide receiver Robby Anderson in free agency to the Carolina Panthers. Jackson could be a nice replacement and add a different dynamic to the offense.
In his 13 game career with the Syracuse football team, Jackson recorded 69 receptions for 1,050 yards and 12 touchdowns.
