The read

D'Marco grades below average among edge rushers: 133rd of 141 on the average of 1 settled advanced stat over 5 games. The box score reads 12 tackles, 2 solo tackles and 10 assisted tackles.

  • His highest-ranked settled number is only below the middle: pressures per 100 snaps is 0.0 on 117 snaps, 132nd of 141 among edge rushers (the typical edge rusher is 2.4). Nothing he does stands out from the edge rushers yet.
  • What holds him back: pressures per 100 snaps is 0.0 on 117 snaps, 132nd of 141 among edge rushers (the typical edge rusher is 2.4).
  • Game to game on pressures per 100 snaps: best 0.0 in Week 1 against CAR, worst 0.0 in Week 5. He beat the typical edge rusher's pressures per 100 snaps in 0 of 5 games.
  • Season rank slipped: 25th to 14th percentile since Wk 3.
  • When he plays he is on the field for about 3 of every 10 plays.
  • Too early to call: tackles for loss per 100 snaps. After 5 games the gaps between edge rushers on that stat are still mostly chance, so we show it without ranking.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 5 games are behind the season figures.

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying edge rushers. Faded bars are still small samples. Outlined bars are stats where, this early, the gaps between players are mostly luck, so they are not ranked yet.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among edge rushers after each week, and every game behind it.
WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 3: 15th percentileWeek 4: 18th percentileWeek 5: 6th percentile6th

Season rank slipped: 15th to 6th percentile since Wk 3.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 99 (the best in the league) down to 1 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

Pressures per 100 snaps game by game

2vs MIN0.025Not yet
3vs PHI0.02015th pct
4vs NYJ0.0418th pct
5vs GB0.0486th pct

“Not yet” means too little of the season was behind him to rank him fairly against edge rushers. A week-by-week rank needs most of the 80 snaps that grade a full season, so early weeks stay blank for players who see few plays, like kickers. It says nothing about how he played.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 23 snaps can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

132nd of 141 edge rushers · bottom 8%

Sacks, hits and hurries as Pro Football Reference charts them, for every 100 snaps he plays. A pass rusher is doing his job on plays that never become a sack.

The box score: A sack total misses most of what a rusher does and depends on how many snaps he plays.

Does it show up in winning? Across 276 games league-wide, a good or bad game on pressures per 100 snaps from a edge rusher has not lined up much with his team winning (58% wins in the best third, 50% in the worst).

Pay against play

Early read

Among the 138 edge rushers we have a grade and a contract for, D'Marco Jackson is 130th on the field and 73rd in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.

On the field (overall grade)130 of 138
In pay73 of 138

Ranks are among the 138 edge rushers on the teams we track who have both a grade and a contract. A rank near the right of a bar is better play or higher pay.

Contract figures as of 2026-10-12, read from public cap sites (StickToTheModel team cap pages and OverTheCap contracts list and player pages) into a file we keep by hand, for all 32 teams. A deal signed, cut or reworked since may differ, and cap hits are rounded to $0.1M.

Playing time

He has played in 4 of his team's 4 games with snap counts, on the field for about 32% of the team's defensive plays when he plays.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's defensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level. A dash means that number is not in yet (charting posts a day or two after a game), not a zero.

The edge rushers whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
