NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The first thing that jumps off the screen when watching Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson play is his speed. Jackson has an extensive track background, something that can be met with skepticism on the football field.
Often track athletes who play football have their toughness questioned, and past NFL players who were known for their track prowess -- think former wide receivers Willie Gault (Bears and Raiders) and Renaldo Nehemiah (49ers) -- were often viewed as projects and not solely as football players.
None of that has been the case for Jackson, whom the Titans drafted 18th overall in 2017.
