    He's got plus ball skills. He finds it well and he does a good job getting his hands in there.

    The speed is obvious, makeup speed if he gets beat.

    He's a damn good tackler and hes always giving 100% effort. He'll fit our culture well.

    I can't wait to see him with the ball in his hands too.

    The fact that I never have to see Marc Mariani return a kick ever again makes this pick alone worth it.

    Last time we had a return man with his skill set was pac-man. Should make the offense even better when you can flip field position off ST.

    I wonder how much his return skills played into it.

    The last #1 CB I've seen in the NFL also do returns was Pacman.

    I hope they checked to see if Jackson has a friend named "Kenny"?

    12th highest grade against the run per PFF. While that's not the be all end all, I think it's a good indicator that he doesn't suck.

    I've never understood this line of thinking - you WANT the ball in the hands of a playmaker, no matter what position he plays. The Steelers use Antonio Brown as their returner. The Cardinals use Patrick Peterson. They understand.
