Bengals 2020 player review: William Jackson

William Jackson had a solid 2020 campaign, and for the third straight year he is the best cornerback the Bengals have.

While the cornerbacks around him were dropping like flies, Jackson put together 14 games, 11 passes defended and an interception. He had a Pro Football Focus grade of 71.4, which was a huge step up from his 51.3 last season.

His best year, according to PFF, was his rookie season in 2017. He was a first round pick out of Houston, but played sparingly. The next year, he emerged as the Bengals’ top cornerback, outperforming Adam Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick.
