Josh Jackson, CB

The Green Bay Packers took Josh Jackson in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but they could have just as easily taken him in the first and no one would have batted an eye.

Jackson was a ball hawk for the Iowa Hawkeyes, leading the nation with eight interceptions this past season and proving his transition from the wide receiver position was a successful one.

Jackson’s instincts and ball skills are out of this world, and he’s quickly proving his shut down ability with the Packers.

He let the Steelers have a little piece as well with his pick-six.

Jackson had another pass breakup on the aforementioned James Washington in this game and showed off his athletic ability.

The Packers have to be encouraged with what they’ve seen from Jackson thus far after a rough year in the secondary this past season.
