While the Bengals’ 2017 season was very frustrating, and ended with head coach Marvin Lewis getting rewarded with a two-year extension, the play of the team’s young guys has been encouraging. And in 2017, nobody performed better than William Jackson III when given the chance. His (essentially) rookie campaign was one for the ages, and hopefully it is only the start to a great career.
The redshirt rookie had one of the best seasons for a Bengals cornerback in recent time, according to ProFootballFocus.com, showing that if he’s not there already, he’s on track to becoming a true shutdown corner for Cincinnati very soon.
