Josh Jackson dismisses concerns about lack of experience

Some wonder if Josh Jackson is a one-year wonder.

Iowa's depth of talent on the depth chart at corner and their player development model are the biggest factors in Josh Jackson playing only one season as a starter for the Hawkeyes. The model, it should be noted, works: plenty of Hawkeyes are having their names called during recent NFL Drafts.

In that one season, however, Jackson had eight interceptions, including a pair of pick-sixes against the Wisconsin Badgers.

So, what are the Packers getting in Jackson?

Size, for one. After taking 5-10 corner Jaire Alexander in the first round, the Packers get the 6-1 Jackson in the second.

Here's how Jackson addressed concerns over his lack of playing time in college.
