Donovan Jackson to the Vikings just might be my favorite pick of the night.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 25, 2025
By the end of this past season, he had put on elite tape at both guard AND left tackle.
An extremely dependable, selfless player. He's tough, rugged and athletic. Excellent football player.
