FILM EVALUATION SUMMARY
THE OVERALL PICTURE
Jacobi’s film presents a long, athletic LB/EDGE prospect whose discipline and versatility separate his profile. He stays square through backfield action, maintains edge responsibility and uses a quick first step to threaten tackles as a pass rusher.
His movement skills allow him to press the line of scrimmage, drop comfortably into coverage and maintain leverage without creating easy throwing windows. Backside pursuit, active hands and awareness in passing lanes further reflect his motor and football intelligence. Continued development in pass rush counters, block separation and coverage detail can help him maximize a highly intriguing defensive skill set.
