Adoree' Jackson

CB, USC

Sitting at 4-6, the Green Bay Packers knew they would have to run the table if they wanted to make it to the playoffs. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers let Packer Nation know that would be the case, and he went out and did just that, winning the NFC North on the final day of the regular season. After two great wins in the Wild Card and Divisional Round, the Packers headed to Atlanta to take on the Falcons for a spot in Super Bowl 51.

The Packers would win up getting blown out by the Falcons, but in the process, two things were made clear. The first was that Aaron Rodgers is still one of the best quarterback in the NFL, and the second was that they need some serious help in their secondary. The Packers need to bring in some good talent in the defensive backfield before next season, and they are lucky that this draft is full of talent back there.

Adoree’ Jackson might be the most exciting player in this draft, as he has the ability to impact games in so many ways. Jackson is USC’s all-time leading return man, and as a cornerback, he has the physical gifts need to shut down one side of the field at the next level. The Packers need playmakers in their secondary, and during his career as a Trojan, Jackson proved to be just that.
