Some college LB's play bigger than their size. Other's play faster than their speed.

We had a kid at our high school, Eric Andino, who never ran faster than a 5.1, but now he's on a full ride to Michigan State as a LB. He plays really fast, although he doesn't run well.

I think Jackson plays big enough to be a LB in the NFL. True strong safetys are a dying breed, as you see more and more cover guys playing.
