CB Adoree' Jackson: The Good, the Great and the Ugly
When cornerback Adoree Jackson was brought to New York last season from Tennessee, he was supposed to form a dynamic duo in the Giants defensive backfield with James Bradberry.
One year later and Jackson is the one who remains, while questions exist on the other side as to who will be his partner on the perimeter. This season he has to be the premier coverage guy that many believed he could be coming out of college.
He will no doubt be asked to cover the best that the opposition has to offer on a weekly basis. In Wink Martindale's defense, that means he will be playing a lot of man-to-man.
During his first season with the Giants, there were questions about his overall effectiveness and his health, but all of those questions will likely be answered this season.
Is the 26-year-old Jackson ready to emerge as a force at the position, or will he continue to be a decent cornerback who needs a Batman to his Robin? We take a look at the good, the great, and the ugly of Jackson’s game.
