Three New England Patriots have been named to Pro Football Writers of America’s All-AFC team, including J.C. Jackson.
The cornerback took home 2021 honors alongside Matthew Judon at outside linebacker and Matthew Slater on special teams, the PFWA announced Monday.
Jackson, 26, started all 17 games over the course of the regular season for New England. His eight interceptions ranked second in the NFL and his 23 passes defensed ranked first. The 2018 undrafted arrival out of Maryland also registered his first career forced fumble and touchdown. Jackson, who played on the second-round restricted tender, is joined by the Miami Dolphins’ Xavien Howard on the All-AFC cornerback depth chart.
