Green Bay Packers: 3 Players Whose Stock is on the Rise

Josh Jackson

We are all well aware that the first two seasons of Josh Jackson’s career haven’t gone as planned, especially when we consider that he was a former second-round pick. After a bumpy rookie season, Jackson saw little playing time in 2019, and now he enters a make or break third season.

Although it’s only been a week of practices, if you’ve been following along on Twitter, I don’t believe there’s been a practice where Jackson hasn’t broken up a play. And he’s been doing it against Green Bay’s starters on offense.

For a closer look at Jackson’s performance through the first week, Andy Herman of Packer Report had this to say:

"“Jackson’s had a really nice start to training camp. After getting beat on a deep ball to open up camp against MVS – Jackson has had two impressive practices in a row. On Tuesday he had a nice pass breakup vs. EQ in one-on-ones, had sticky coverage versus Jake Kumerow, then ended practice with a near pick of Rodgers. On Wednesday Jackson had perfect coverage on EQ in team drills, breaking up a pass and almost having an opportunity at another interception. This is a huge season for Jackson and he seems to be doing everything he can to make sure it’s his best season yet.”"

This Green Bay Packers’ cornerback room is certainly young and talented, however, there are question marks surrounding the overall depth and experience. If Jackson can continue to build upon these early performances, he will give this already stout unit a nice boost this season.
