Dan Jackson, who blocked a kick and a punt in his Georgia career, should compete for the No. 3 safety job this fall with the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions selected Georgia WR Dominic Lovett with the No. 244 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Dominic Lovett is a shifty and smooth mover in space. Lovett is a lean-framed slot receiver with fluid movement patterns. He works best in space as a quick throw and run threat.

Jackson, 24, is a former walk-on who primarily played special teams over his Georgia career but became a starting safety as a redshirt senior in 2024. Last season, Jackson recorded 64 combined tackles (two for loss) with two interceptions and three additional pass breakups.
