Green Bay Packers, CB, Josh Jackson, Iowa
-
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow. -
Bio:
First-year starter who was a unanimous First Team All-America selection and led the nation with eight interceptions as a junior, returning two for touchdowns while making 48 tackles and breaking up 18 passes. Combined to make 18 tackles with six pass breakups in his first two seasons with the Hawkeyes.
Pos:
Terrific cover corner who burst on the scene in 2017. Battles receivers from the snap of the ball, shows a quick transition off the line and stays on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Plays with balance and body control, effectively tracks the ball in the air and shows terrific hands for the interception. Keeps the action in front of him, has a great burst to the ball and effectively times his pass defenses. Possesses nice length and athleticism.
Neg:
Late to react on occasion. Struggles making plays with his back to the ball. Not forceful on the blitz.
Analysis:
Jackson comes off a tremendous junior campaign and moves towards the draft as one of the higher-rated cornerbacks. He possesses the size and upside to develop into a starter at the next level but presently is most effective facing the action and must improve making plays with his back to the ball.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

It will be interesting to see how he plays when he has to match up against a QB with talent."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

When the choice seemed like Ward or Jackson, I favored Jackson. I'm excited about Alexander, though, as somebody with the best of both Ward and Jackson.
The best Corner year before last, and the guy I wish we had kept was Ladarius Gunter. Jackson is similar (hopefully a lot better) - heavy on instinct/light on speed.
There's that old saying, "you can never have two many good Corners". Well, the Packers are certainly pushing the limit on that. What they really need is for one or more of these guys to be a Great - not just good - Corner. Either Alexander or Jackson or Kevin King could be that ...... or they could all flounder.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Packer Report @PackerReport
Gutekunst on Jackson: "He's a long corner with excellent ball skills." Had breakout senior season. Has knack "of going and getting it" when ball is in the air.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Should've drafted Donte Jackson instead. J-Jax looks like a poor man's Al Harris.Comment

FWIW: Pro Football Weekly had him rated as the top corner in the draftComment

Did you watch his highlight film? The guy's ball skills are off the charts. Amazing! He was a high-rated WR coming up.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

By "breakout" season I think he means first season, doesn't he?Originally posted by pbmax View PostOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.
