Josh Jackson Comes Back Strong Against the Raiders

The Packers second round corner Josh Jackson missed almost the entire first month of training camp with a foot injury. It was not an ideal situation for Jackson who needed to show improvement after a rollercoaster of a rookie season.

One season removed from leading the NCAA in interceptions, Jackson never quite looked comfortable in 2018. He led the team with seven penalties, most of them holding calls. Instead of trusting his feet, Jackson was grabbing the receivers jersey.

At Iowa, Jackson benefited from playing in a zone scheme. He thrived at being able to read the quarterback rather than matching the footwork of the receiver.
