J.C. Jackson, CB
While Jones owns the middle of the field, Jackson has been key in helping the Patriots own the perimeters and the deep areas of the field. He is a favorite of Pro Football Focus, the digital scouting service. They wrote the following: “Since 2018, he has been targeted 29 times 20 or more yards downfield — on those plays, he has allowed just three receptions compared to six interceptions and 10 forced incompletions.”
