Adoree’ Jackson, Cornerback

Adoree’ Jackson is one of the New York Giants’ splashiest signings of the offseason.

Jackson will provide much-needed experience, talent, and speed to the cornerback group and is firmly entrenched as the starter alongside James Bradberry. Adoree’ was a 1st round pick in 2017 and the Titans had to release him this season as it became obvious they would not agree to contract terms.

Adoree’ was a terrific returner in college at USC and continued to do so in Tennessee in the NFL. In his three NFL seasons returning kicks and punts, Jackson recorded 53 punt returns for 464 yards for 8.8 yards per return. He also ran back 27 kickoffs for 601 yards, good for 22.3 yards per return.

Jackson has had issues staying healthy the last two seasons. However, any time he is on the field, Adoree’ is one of the most dynamic playmakers available. He has breakaway speed, vision to find pockets of space, and he has the jukes and cuts to make guys miss and hit the next level.
