Tyree Jackson isn’t at the top of the list of quarterback prospects in this year’s draft Da’Shawn Hand Jersey , but the University of Buffalo product has some attributes that have drawn the attention of scouts.Jackson needs some polish as a player, but is 6’7″ with a strong right arm and he ran a 4.59 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine earlier this year. That’s the kind of prospect that teams are often interested in taking in the middle rounds to see if they can apply that polish and a couple of teams to head to Buffalo to see him recently.Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Dolphins and Lions both made on-campus visits to meet with Jackson. Connor Cook is currently the only quarterback on the roster other than Matthew Stafford, so the Lions may be in the market for another backup option. The Dolphins might provide Jackson a better chance of getting starts as a rookie as Ryan Fitzpatrick is currently pencilled in to start.Jackson was 225-of-407 for 3,131 yards Tracy Walker Jersey , 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for Buffalo last season. In Matt Patricia’s first year as head coach, Quandre Diggs’ versatility has translated to elevated play at safety."In this edition of our 2018 roster review, we take a look at Quandre Diggs and how his 2018 performance projects to the future. Quandre DiggsOutlook before 2018:Quandre Diggs entered 2018 looking for his first whole season playing safety. After injuries decimated the Lions’ safety rotation in the 2017 campaign, Diggs was forced to switch over from nickel corner to strong safety and he flourished in the limited role. There was concern Diggs would experience a sophomore slump at the position Kerryon Johnson Jersey , especially while learning a new scheme, but apparently Diggs didn’t get the memo. Actual role in 2018:2018 Stats: 16 games, 78 tackles (64 solo), three interceptions Frank Ragnow Jersey , eight passes defended. PFF Grade: 72.7 (#30 among safeties)Diggs thrived in his new role, and Patricia’s creativity with safety use made the most of Diggs’ skillset. We saw Diggs stuff the box, cover deep, and take on men both smaller and bigger than him without hesitation. Most entertaining of all Marvin Jones Jersey , we got another season’s worth of tape on Diggs thumping receivers and running backs who dared to venture into his domain. It should also be noted that thanks to Diggs, the Lions’ first and last defensive possessions of the season ended in interceptions. Outlook for 2019: Contract Status: Under ContractIt’s clear that Diggs and the Lions are in a mutually beneficial relationship. Matt Patricia and Paul Pasqualoni have taken full advantage of Diggs’ abilities to put him in a position to succeed, and the Lions are getting their money’s worth after signing Diggs to a three year, $20.4 million extension in September. The man provides the Lions with a literal bang for their buck.With a year of the new scheme under his belt Darius Slay Jersey , look for Diggs to see continued success heading into the 2019 season.
