2020 NFL Draft: 4 cornerbacks the Jets could target in later rounds

Jets Wire takes a look at four cornerbacks the Jets could target in the later rounds of the 2020 NFL draft.

Lamar Jackson, Nebraska

He’s not quite as dynamic of an athlete as the most recent player with his namesake to enter the NFL, but Jackson is a decent bet to contribute in the secondary in some capacity at the next level.

At 6-foot-2, Jackson has some impressive length to him. He’s not too good in run support and his coverage skills need some improving, but that is nothing an NFL coaching staff can’t fix if the talent is there.

Odds are Jackson won’t develop into an elite ballhawk or playmaker at cornerback, but he could become good enough to carve out a substantial role in someone’s secondary. It might be worth the Jets’ while to find out if Jackson can accomplish that in the Big Apple.
