As the New Orleans Saints gear up for the 2025 NFL season, linebacker D'Marco Jackson is poised to make a significant impact. Drafted in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Jackson has been a special teams asset but is now eyeing a more prominent role on defense.

Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 233 pounds, Jackson has the physical attributes to excel. His collegiate career at Appalachian State showcased his versatility; he recorded 120 tackles and led the Sun Belt Conference with 19 tackles for loss in his final year. With the Saints hiring Kellen Moore as head coach, Jackson's performance in the preseason will be crucial for securing a roster spot and contributing to the team's defensive schemes.
