Adoree’ Jackson is still the New York Giants’ No. 1 cornerback. Drafting Deonte Banks in the first round and Tre Hawkins III in the sixth round doesn’t change that fact.
It does mean that Jackson has the opportunity to play fewer reps and try out new positions in the secondary this year at training camp. With the coaching staff focused on seeing what they have in Banks and Hawkins, Jackson has been taking snaps as a slot cornerback. He played almost exclusively on the outside last year.
Our own Anthony Del Genio recently explored the idea of Jackson starting games in the slot this year.
