Report: 49ers bring in CB Josh Jackson for official visit

The San Francisco 49ers pursuit of secondary depth continued on Monday, with Matt Maiocco reporting the team brought in Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson for an official pre-draft visit.

The 49ers have occasionally been connected to Jackson in mock drafts, although Jackson has slipped as Denzel Ward has become the clear best option at the top of the cornerback board. Jackson was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which goes to the nation’s top defensive back.

Jackson has the kind of length the 49ers would like in press coverage, and he had a strong 2017 season.
