After another disappointing season for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 there are things that are lost in all of the bad that happened. One of those is cornerback William Jackson III. Even though Bengals fans were aware of his great play in 2017, Jackson went unnoticed when it came to the national view of top cornerbacks last season.
Everyone in the national media praised cornerbacks like Jacksonville’s A.J. Bouye and New Orleans Marshon Lattimore and with good reason. Lost in those names of players who had great seasons was Jackson who ranked right between those two players in terms of passer rating when targeted according to Pro Football Focus who published an article on “Top 10 NFL CBs by lowest passer rating when targeted”.
