Packers: 4 veterans on roster bubble entering preseason opener vs Texans
1. Josh Jackson
Josh Jackson was thought to be a steal when the Packers picked him up in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was projected as a surefire first-rounder and someone who the Packers could’ve taken with their first pick.
A playmaker at Iowa in college, Jackson was always around the ball. He found a way to make his presence felt and had a knack for taking that all the way to the end zone. Unfortunately, that same success hasn’t translated to the pros. He’s typically a step slow in coverage and hasn’t found a way to contribute consistently.

Entering his fourth year, he must find a way to make an impact. The Packers used another high pick (a first on Eric Stokes) to shore up their secondary and Jackson’s time is quickly running out. He likely has three preseason games, beginning tonight against the Texans, to show his worth.
