PFN Tony Pauline (Jonah Jackson, G - Career Snapshot: Graduate transfer from Rutgers who started one season with the Scarlet Knights before he joined Ohio State and started his lone season with the Buckeyes. Earned Third Team All-America honors as a senior in 2019. Named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten as a junior. Started five games in 2017 before he was sidelined by an undisclosed injury. Positives: Large, intelligent blocker who is best in a small area. Mostly blocks with proper leverage and pad level and stays square. Strong, controls opponents at the point of attack, and keeps his head on a swivel. Sets with an incredibly wide base, quickly gets into blocks and easily handles one-on-one assignments. Very effective with his hands, jolts defenders with an explosive punch and works blocks. Negatives: Cannot slide in space and displays limited range. Stiff and struggles to pick up stunts and blitzes. Ineffective in motion. Analysis: Jackson made a wise choice to transfer from Rutgers to Ohio State, as he watched his draft stock take off last season. He has athletic and agility limitations, but Jackson could be an effective backup and eventually develop into a starter in the proper system.): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/big-ten-scouting-reports-2020-nfl-draft/9/
Rankings:
Overall:
FTW (32. Jackson: Jackson is a little on the older side after spending five years at Ohio State. Versatility is one of his biggest selling points. He can play either guard spot and center. Jackson may not be a people-mover in the run game, but he can be a blocker on the move and rarely gets outsmarted in pass protection. For an athlete of Jackson’s caliber, the Combine numbers were a bit disappointing but his athleticism shows up on tape. He should start from Day 1.

You may know him better as the Rutgers player who actually graded well back in 2018. For his career, he's allowed only one lone sack or hit on 1,020 pass-blocking snaps, which speaks to arguably his greatest trait — not losing quickly. Even when he does allow pressure, Jackson is almost always still holding on for dear life and riding guys past the pocket.

2020 NFL Draft: PFF's High-Floor/Low-Ceiling Team (LG – JONAH JACKSON, OHIO STATE: Jackson’s technique is already this good. He can play in the NFL tomorrow and not look out of place in pass protection. I’m not sure how many other guys I can say that about. Of his 10 pressures allowed last season, only one came in a one-on-one pass-blocking situation.) (4-17-20): https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2020-nfl-draft-pffs-high-floor-low-ceiling-team
2020 NFL Draft: PFF's All Trump Card Team (RG – OHIO STATE – JONAH JACKSON (BALANCE): At a position where holding on for dear life is paramount, having balance like Jackson’s makes life a lot easier. You’ll be hard-pressed to find many reps over the past couple of seasons where Jackson ends up eating turf. That’s rare with the violence of the collisions that occur in the trenches.)

10 biggest sleepers in the 2020 NFL draft class (1. G JONAH JACKSON, OHIO STATE: He may not have the ideal body type or the quickest feet or the most powerful frame, but Jonah Jackson is a broken record in pass protection. He ends more pass pro reps at the line of scrimmage than any other guard in the draft class. His short sets are impeccable, and he’s so quick to get his hands on guys and lock them up. Jackson won 58% of his reps in the one-on-ones in Mobile despite splitting his time between all three interior positions.)

Trust the tape on these prospects after less-than-stellar NFL Combine performances (OHIO STATE IOL JONAH JACKSON: Jackson’s 5.23 40, 7.83 three-cone and 5.02 shuttle were all below average times. The only redeeming drill Jackson had was his 28 bench press reps. That being said, his technique is on another level from any other interior lineman in this class. His hand usage in pass pro is second to none, and few positions have a history of bad athletes succeeding in the NFL quite like the interior offensive line.)

5 whose bad week won't hurt stock (Jonah Jackson, G, Ohio State: Jackson isn't regarded close to the same as Epenesa or Reagor, so he's a different type of pick for this article. His 2019 film at Ohio State -- after transferring from Rutgers of all places -- is truly, outstandingly boring. And boring is good for offensive linemen. He plays much higher than most guards and doesn't have the squatty, fire hydrant of a frame we typically envision at the position. Jackson thrives thanks to awesome balance, a sturdy anchor, and two vice grips for hands. His 40-yard dash of 5.23 placed him in the 54th percentile historically among interior offensive linemen, and his 7.83 3-cone equates to the 49th percentile at the position. But those who like Jackson as a prospect -- like me -- weren't ready to bury Jackson if he didn't rock in Indianapolis. He won't be for every team, and that's fine. He's a lower-level athlete for the guard spot with tremendous fundamentals who overachieved in Columbus and has the technique to do so in the NFL. ) (3-3-20): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-draft-2020-why-the-combine-for-jalen-reagor-a-j-epenesa-and-other-prospects-shouldnt-hurt-their-stock/
2020 NFL Scouting Combine: Notable quotes and analysis from Day 2 (“Being nasty.” – Jonah Jackson on his strengths. After playing a mix of center and right guard at Rutgers from 2016-18, Jackson made the move to Ohio State and ended up the second-best interior offensive lineman in the draft in PFF's eyes. Jackson was always a nasty player, whether he was trying to open up holes in the running game or blocking for his quarterback in the passing game. He earned a PFF overall grade of 78.1 and was the fifth most valuable guard in the FBS, according to PFF WAA.)

Who and what to watch at the 2020 NFL Combine: Offensive line (Jonah Jackson, Ohio State. Suggested by: Zack Moran and Sonja Greenfield. Between his time at Maryland and Ohio State, Jackson started five games at center, 11 at right guard, and 13 at left guard, giving him multi-positional appeal. He is significantly more polished as a pass protector, handling one-on-ones and switches easily, but his lack of impact as a run blocker could cause him to start his career as a position flexible reserve.)

A Senior Bowl prospect for every round for Lions (Jonah Jackson, G, Ohio State: Unless the price tag ends up coming in much lower than expected, it's looking likely the Lions won't re-sign Graham Glasgow. That leaves a significant hole up front, and if the team doesn't address it with a cheaper option in free agency or in a trade, they'll probably need to spend an early-round pick on an interior blocker. A graduate transfer from Rutgers, Jackson thrived in his one season with the Buckeyes and added some versatility to the resume, flipping to the left side of the line in 2019. His footwork and balance are top notch and he's allowed fewer than 10 pass-rush pressures each of the past three seasons. ) (1-26-20): https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2020/01/26/2020-senior-bowl-prospect-every-round-nfl-draft-detroit-lions/4580927002/
2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl Practice Report: North Team (Tuesday - One of my personal favorite players, Jonah Jackson was stellar today. He was consistently good in 1v1s, and was strong in team drills. Jackson doesn’t have the functional athleticism to be an early Day 2 pick. However, if a team is able to draft him on Day 3, they’re getting an absolute steal. Jonah Jackson was one of the five best linemen in Mobile today. Wednesday - Jackson has continued to prove he’s one of the top interior linemen in the Mobile, and maybe in this class. He’s excellent in pass protection, and he can absolutely move people in the run game. Thursday - Jackson wasn’t as strong as he has been, but he had by no means a “bad day.” He was still strong in pass pro and continued to move people off the line of scrimmage. Not his best day in Mobile, but was still one of the top OL here. Analysis - Jonah Jackson proved exactly who I thought he was – a top IOL prospect with elite play strength, but some athletic limitations. Jackson was a wall in pass protection this week and moved people in the run game. However, asking him to pull and get out on screens is not his forte. Strong week overall for the from Buckeye, as he’ll likely enter the draft as on of my top 5 iOL.(1-24-20): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2020-reeses-senior-bowl-practice-report-north-team/
Biggest risers and fallers at the 2020 Senior Bowl (Risers - Jonah Jackson, OG, Ohio State
Jackson may have moved all the way up to OG1 with his performance in Mobile. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound guard is a bit top-heavy, but his balance is absurd. He was near-flawless in one-on-one drills and also impressed in team drills as a run blocker. He should be in the first-round conversation when it’s all said and done.)

He has some balance concerns though as he ends up on the turf far more often than you'd like from an offensive lineman.)

Biggest takeaways from a week of Senior Bowl practices (39. Jonah Jackson, G, Ohio State: Jackson firmly put himself into the conversation for PFF’s OG1. He doesn’t have the raw power that our current top guard — Fresno State’s Netane Muti — possesses, but he is the most technically sound pass protector in the class. He’s a sure-fire top-50 player on our board.) (1-24-20): https://www.pff.com/news/draft-senior-bowl-takeaways-2020
Senior Bowl: Sleepers who shined (Jonah Jackson, IOL, Ohio State: The Rutgers transfer was a brick wall for Justin Fields and J.K. Dobbins in 2019, and that sturdy, fundamentally sound play continued in Mobile. At over 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds with long arms for the guard spot, Jackson gets low to win the leverage battle from the jump, is plenty strong in his upper half and has just enough athleticism to slide to stop counter moves. ) (1-24-20): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/senior-bowl-2020-nebraskas-lamar-jackson-lsus-stephen-sullivan-among-draft-sleepers-who-shined-in-mobile/
2020 Senior Bowl Day 2 Practice Notes: KJ Hill, Jonah Jackson and Troy Pride Jr. all shine bright (Ohio State OG Jonah Jackson
Jackson might be the only offensive lineman in attendance this week to not have a convincing loss in the one-on-ones. His independent hand usage has been nothing short of elite this week. The ability to latch and not let go is something that you love to see from an interior lineman. His build may not be the most impressive, but the tape is.)

Senior Bowl Offensive Linemen (Jonah Jackson, Ohio State (G): It’s not often a player from Rutgers can grad transfer to a program like Ohio State and earn a starting spot, but Jonah Jackson proved to be a unique case. A 6-foot-4, 305-pounder, Jackson was initially Rutgers’ starting center in 2017. He switched over to guard in his final season with the Scarlet Knights in 2018 and continued to play guard for the Buckeyes in 2019. Jackson, in just his first season in Columbus, helped running back J.K. Dobbins break Big Ten rushing records and quarterback Justin Fields lead a near-Heisman campaign. Jackson also helped his case through being dependable and available. According to Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors, Jackson tied for the lead in offensive snaps played for the Buckeyes in 2019. The offensive line battled injuries all year, especially at tackle, but Jackson remained a steady presence up front. In terms of his skill set, Jackson wins through passable movement in space and a great understanding of how to operate at the second level. Jackson can work across the line to double team then climb up to the second level and pick off a linebacker, just as its drawn up in the playbook. Though he is not exactly an elite athlete, he is plenty agile enough when considering how well he processes where he needs to be at any given time. Strength and anchor will not be Jackson’s best talking points, but he wouldn’t be the first zone offensive linemen that would be true of. It’s tough for offensive linemen to be truly good in both areas, and even just being good at one should make Jackson a viable backup at the next level. Zone teams like the Vikings, 49ers, Rams, and Packers should be eyeing Jackson when Day 3 of the NFL Draft rolls around. ) (1-21-20): https://www.rotoworld.com/article/evaluations/senior-bowl-offensive-linemen
Big-10 Senior Bowl players preview: Hidden talents set to emerge (OL Jonah Jackson, Ohio State: Jonah Jackson is maybe the most underrated interior lineman in the country. He lacks elite athletic ability, but it doesn’t seem to affect him in space. He’s an absolute mauler but can be too eager to engage defenders, getting ahead of himself and outright missing. In pass protection, he’s constantly looking for work and can be a nasty secondary blocker. His feet can be slow, but it seems to be more technique based than on athletic limitations. With a strong OL coach to clean up his game, Jackson could be an above-average starter at the next level. Expect at least a pancake or two throughout the week. ) (1-21-20): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/big-10-senior-bowl-players-preview-hidden-talents-set-to-emerge/
PFF 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl Preview: players to watch, draft implications, schedule, team rosters and more (Jonah Jackson has been one of the more consistent offensive guards in college football. In the entirety of his collegiate career, Jackson has allowed 25 total pressures on 1,020 pass-block snaps with only one being a sack and zero total hits on the quarterback. Jackson transferred to Ohio State this past year from Rutgers and improved his run-blocking from a 70.3 grade to a 77.8 mark. He was the fifth most valuable left guard in college football in WAA this past year, but he has shown in the past that he is more than capable of playing anywhere on the interior.)

Building the best team from the College Football Playoff (Ohio State — Wyatt Davis, Jonah Jackson, Josh Myers: Another close race for this one, the trio of Davis, Jackson and Myers edges out Damien Lewis, Adrian Magee and Lloyd Cushenberry of LSU on the back of Myers’ solid play at center. Davis is one of the nation’s best guards, and Jackson has rounded into form late in the campaign after transferring from Rutgers this past offseason. Together, Davis and Jackson have allowed just one sack or hit all season long on a combined 807 pass-blocking snaps, and both have dominated in the run game, too. Myers, who made it on our list of top underclassmen in the playoff, has been just as strong, allowing 14 pressures on 404 pass-blocking snaps while putting forth well-above-average grades in the run game.)

He has some balance concerns though as he ends up on the turf far more often than you'd like from an offensive lineman.) (12-2-19): https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-2019-pff-all-big-ten-team
Tony Pauline’s Week 14 Risers and Sliders: Auburn’s Derrick Brown leads list of risers (Risers - Jonah Jackson/G/Ohio State: Jackson is a player I’ve mentioned several times during the CFB game day blog this season and his performance during the Buckeyes thrashing of Michigan was so dominant he deserved to make the risers list. Jackson blew open holes on the left side of the offensive line, making J.K. Dobbins’s job much easier all day. He’s another small area lineman who will be a steal on the draft’s final day.)

College Football Week 14 Eckrich Team of the Week (OFFENSIVE GUARD - Jonah Jackson, Ohio State: Finishing the regular season with his best performance yet, Jackson had not only the best overall game grade of his Ohio State career but in his four years as a collegiate offensive lineman. He allowed one hurry on 32 pass-blocking snaps and was second among all guards in run-blocking grade. Against a formidable Michigan front who was second in pressure percentage entering the game, Jackson's efforts were vital to Ohio State's success in the passing game.) (11-30-19): https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-week-14-eckrich-team-of-the-week
College Football Week 5: Highest-graded offensive lines (While their run-blocking work was remarkable, their pass-protection almost matched that effort in that only one player surrendered multiple quarterback pressures (offensive tackle Joshua Alabi — 3). The player lining up alongside Alabi, Jonah Jackson, was one of the highest-graded pass-blocking guards in Week 5 (86.7), surrendering zero pressures and earning a perfect 100.0 pass-blocking efficiency rating. The Buckeyes’ offensive line ran only 29 passing snaps, but their pocket protection paired with their run-blocking prowess easily earns them a spot on this list.)
