This week has revealed quite a bit of information about the Cincinnati Bengals’ number one outside corner, William Jackson III. According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the talented defensive back played all of last season with a torn labrum. On top of that, the Bengals’ front office turned down multiple other franchises that were interested in acquiring Jackson via a trade.
That’s quite a bit of news all at once on the former first-round pick and it certainly gives some clarity on his situation.
First, his dip in play can likely be attributed to the injury he suffered through.
