Packers’ veteran who might not make the roster 2. Josh Jackson

Josh Jackson is a part of the same 2018 draft class that has produced mixed results. Taken in the second round (and seen as a complete steal at the time) Jackson’s speed has never been enough to allow him to contribute at the NFL level. He got plenty of early playing time last year when Kevin King went down with an injury and literally played himself out of an active roster spot.

Green Bay has since re-signed King and added first-round pick Eric Stokes plus fifth-round selection Shemar Jean-Charles, providing additional depth at the position. You have to think Jaire Alexander, King, Stokes and Chandon Sullivan are locks to make the team. That only leaves one or two cornerback spots remaining. Jackson will have to beat out Jean-Charles and Ka’Dar Hollman to earn a roster spot.
