CB. USC. Adoree Jackson. 25. player. 87.

Boy, are the Carolina Panthers missing Josh Norman right now. The Panthers were absolutely ripped to shreds by Matt Ryan on Sunday, with the likes of James Bradberry and Bene Benwikere completely incapable of slowing Atlanta’s passing game down.

The Panthers need a new No. 1 cornerback, which is exactly what Adoree Jackson could be. He does a great job defending against the deep ball with some fluid hips and top-tier speed. He can also make tackles in the open field, but I want to see some more effort on running plays from him.

Jackson isn’t the biggest guy, but he’s so athletic and instinctive that he could be a Day 1 starter for the Panthers if they drafted him.
