Nick Jackson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former Iowa linebacker Nick Jackson on Sunday as an undrafted rookie free agent, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Jackson impressed the coaching staff enough during his tryout with the team during their rookie minicamp to land a deal. The 24-year-old played at Virginia before transferring to Iowa and had 555 career tackles in 73 college games. Jackson had only 91 tackles in 2024 after recording 100-plus tackles at the collegiate level in four straight years from 2020 to 2023. He will now be competing for a 53-man roster spot this offseason and during training camp this summer with the Buccaneers.
