Mark Jackson is built like a Linebacker and kicks like Jake Elliot. #NFLCombine2024 #kicker #brickshithouse #ufcfighter pic.twitter.com/fEea0X6CV1

Rory, Charlie & Mark where brilliant. They all showed they could kick from close & long distance & although they may have missed, they didn’t let it phase them & kicked the next one. I thought their kick offs was the icing on the cake. Exciting times now ahead. #NFLCombine |…
