Cal linebacker Jackson Sirmon didn’t get invited to the scouting combine but his Senior Bowl showing and Wednesday’s Pro Day should help his bid in next month’s NFL Draft.
California linebacker Jackson Sirmon picks up a fumble and scores a touchdown during the second half of the 125th Big Game at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022. Cal defeated Stanford 27-20. BEREKELY – Linebacker Jackson Sirmon is undaunted by the NFL Draft bubble, as are myriad prospects across the country, looking to land their dream job out of college.
His dad, Peter Sirmon, was a 2000 fourth-round draft pick who spent seven seasons as a Tennessee Titans linebacker. He then took on the nomadic life of being a college coach, ultimately leading in 2018 to Cal, where he reunited with Oregon teammate Justin Wilcox and currently serves as his defensive coordinator.
Peter Sirmon casually looked on Thursday at Memorial Stadium as his son went through drills before some 20 NFL scouts, most of whom paid closer attention to Patrick McMorris, potentially the sixth safety in five years to get drafted out of Cal.“He said there’s a lot of frustrations, a lot of highs and lows, and there’s a lot of criticism that you’re hearing, because that’s really all the process is – people telling you why you can’t play in the NFL,” Jackson Sirmon said.
