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.

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

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.
