Even if his agent were his great-grandmother, it surely can’t be impossible in today’s world to contact a well known person like Jackson and set something up. He’d have to be sitting in a concrete bunker miles underneath the surface of Antarctica to be truly uncontactable.

Maybe a few GMs have had their egos hurt because he didn’t get back to them as soon as they wanted?

And OK, that might hurt his chances of getting drafted by those teams, but I think it would be a surprise at this stage if he wasn’t a first round pick.

I don't think that's the reason he won't be picked in the first round.   The reason he won't be picked in the first round is, while he is a spectacular runner, as a pocket passer he's not so great.   He's not real accurate, his mechanics are bad, and sometimes he doesn't read the field well.   Every analyst I've read says, he's a project.   I've seen way too many projects flame out to take one with a first round pick. 

Of course, it only takes one team, and if so, he will get picked in the first round.  I just doubt it, and I sure wouldn't pick him before the second or even the third round.
