Josh Jackson | Cornerback | Iowa | 6'0" - 196 lbs.

Wearing jersey #37

Overview
Long-armed ball-hawk who understands how to maximize his length to disrupt the catch and take it away. Jackson could be labeled a "one-year wonder", but 27 passes defensed in a single season isn't random. He's talented but inexperienced and he has coverage holes that could be exploited early in his career. Jackson's draft stock likely took a hit with his average forty time and unimpressive work in position drills. However, he is armed with route anticipation, ball skills, and NFL length that teams covet in a press-man corner. It may take time, but the tools are there to be an early starter.

[list]

One-year wonder

Questions are being raised about his long speed

Buys into route breaks a little too hard from trail and can be double-moved[/list]

4.56 40 yard dash

Can't believe he fell this far Packers may have gotten a steal.

Smokey got his man. It will be fun to compare the development of Alexander and Jackson. Toss King into the mix as well.

With Williams, House, King, Alexander and Jackson, there is already 5...

So do they keep 7?
Do they cut a vet?
Or do they only have one open spot?

Anytime there's potential for multiple deserving players fighting for a couple roster spots, it's good for the Packers. Training camp will be fun.

dfosterf (8m) : But it is still not tonight. Lol

wpr (13m) : Today is finally here.

dfosterf (1h) : I should have put it in quotes

dfosterf (1h) : It is the title of a you tube video.

dfosterf (1h) : I'm not assuming anything

beast (7h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (12h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (12h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (12h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (17h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (19h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (21h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (21h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
