The Titans added a dynamic, speedy receiver in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans selected Tulane wide receiver Jha’Quan Jackson with the No. 182 overall selection in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Jackson was a dynamic playmaker at the Senior Bowl.

Jackson was roommates with Titans running back Tyjae Spears during his last season at Tulane. Ed Reed is also his uncle! Jackson is a speedy slot-only receiver. The Titans are looking for a new slot wideout to pair with DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.

Jackson will push Kyle Philips and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for reps in the slot. I spoke with NFL scouts throughout this process who compared Jackson to Zay Flowers. Jackson also has special teams return ability. He totaled 734 kick return yards, and 664 yards and a touchdown as a punt returner at Tulane.

Jackson ran a 4.42 40 at the NFL Combine with splits of 2.58 and 1.54. He leaped a 32 inch vertical and a 9-foot-10 broad. Jackson is an undersized playmaker at 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds. Jackson will be Tennessee’s special teams returner throughout the 2024 campaign.
