New England Patriots to ‘buy’ after Week 10: J.C. Jackson
Week in and week out J.C. Jackson continues to have some amazing performances. It seems as though he has proven that Stephon Gilmore is no longer needed in New England. Jackson is not just the best cornerback in New England, he is the best cornerback in all the NFL.
So far this season, Jackson has six interceptions which is enough to lead the NFL. Jackson can take on a team’s best receiver and shut them down.
It seems very likely that the Patriots will move on from Gilmore in the offseason. With him scheduled to get a pay cut, it’s rather likely that New England trades him instead of watching him holdout.
Hopefully, we will continue to see Jackson lined up against a team’s best wideout. He needs the experience of being a top corner before the team moves on from Gilmore. The team also doesn’t need to rush Gilmore back.
So continue to keep an eye on these five players. Their stock will only continue to rise after their performance in Week 10.
