Josh Jackson

Jaire Alexander will get the most attention as the 18th pick in the draft, but the Packers need to see what type of player they are getting in Josh Jackson. The Iowa star led the nation in interceptions with eight this past year, but under-impressed at the combine with a 40-yard dash time of just 4.56 seconds. The Packers added plenty of speed to the secondary when they selected Alexander in the first round, but Jackson has some boom-or-bust in him.

Green Bay will quickly get a sense of whether or not Jackson’s ball skills translate to the NFL given the questions about his long speed. He’s strong, bulky, and difficult to separate from, but his speed is a legitimate red flag. Of course, this exact scouting report was very similar to Richard Sherman‘s coming out of Stanford.

[Hawk68]

Alexander will not play tonight.

 

[hknation]

announcers just did a spotlight on JJ; mentioned he was from IA and lead the nation in INT's.

They also talked about Daniels blocking up the middle on a no gain running play.

Maybe Bulaga is next to get a mention.

 

[Pawkhawk1]

Daniels?

 

[PotteHawk]

Daniels?

Mike.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

He had good 3rd down coverage there on a 5 yd sit route

 

[funnyfletcher]

Has Wadley played yet?

 

[DaCDiggity]

Has Wadley played yet?

Received a screen pass and got tackled right away but his oline held as well, just picked up a 1st down on 4th down with a catch

 

[STEEL125]

Wadley should get some more touches in the second half. JJ looks good so far, even in man coverage.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Wadley the feature back on this drive.

 

[STEEL125]

I think Wadley has a fighting chance to stick in Tennessee as the 3rd back.

 

[DaCDiggity]

Wadley had prolly a 12 yd run to pick up a 1st down and his line held again. Dang penalties

 

[DaCDiggity]

I think Wadley has a fighting chance to stick in Tennessee as the 3rd back.

Even if he doesn't stick there he will elsewhere

 

[STEEL125]

Wadley fumbles. Ugh.

 

[Hawkdogwoof]

Crap, fumbles are killers for young backs. Serious no no.

 

[greenelite]

CJ is up for the 9ers. Lackluster first series. He still really needs to speed up his decision-making. Kittle also went down with an injury after coming down hard on an incomplete seam route. Looks like shoulder.

 

[greenelite]

CJ throws pick off tipped ball in redzone after completing a very nice ~25 yard pass.

 

[Herkmeister]

Wadley fumbles. Ugh.

Overall did AW look good? Will he be pleased or disappointed?

 

[greenelite]

CJ has had at least 4, maybe 5, tipped passes in 3 possessions so far.

 

[Hawkdogwoof]

Wadley with a great kick return

 

[greenelite]

2 more tips on his 4th possession, but CJ manufactured a nice long drive ending in a TD.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Wadley with a great kick return

64 yards to set up a TD. Commentators think he is making himself valuable as a returner. Shocker.

That’s funny they say Jackson under impressed with his 40 time, but during the Bears game they said the rookie from Dubuque impressed with 4.52.

 

[grayhair81]

Jackson looked really good. He was in position on pass plays and was physical in the run game. He looked like a guy who belonged on the field.
