JC Jackson

JC Jackson was the star of practice this week. When you pick off Tom Brady you are bound to get some good publicity.

Jackson is coming off a solid game against the Redskins. He racked up 3 tackles and was serviceable in coverage. The undrafted corner is making waves so far while with New England.

There are a lot of great young corners fighting for a roster spot. Jackson will have to compete against Duke Dawson and Keion Crossen who also had some decent games.

If Jackson wants to prove he should make the roster he needs to start showing he is a superior talent against opposing teams bottom guys. We saw the Patriots defense struggle to make tackles last season so his 3 tackles are a solid sign, but you hope to see Jackson challenged and see how he defends passes and maybe even get an interception.

If you can pick off a pass from Tom Brady I’m sure any other quarterback is a piece of cake.
