Vic Fangio Puts Adoree’ Jackson on Notice in Eagles’ Cornerback Competition

Jackson has outpaced younger cornerbacks for first-team reps during training camp, prompting Fangio to demand he validate his reputation.

Overview

  • Fangio publicly challenged Jackson “to show who he is or who he isn’t” during a pre-practice session at the NovaCare Complex
  • Jackson logged far more first-team reps than 2023 fourth-round pick Kelee Ringo ahead of Tuesday’s first padded practice
  • The veteran corner made key pass defenses against A.J. Brown and Terrace Marshall during Monday’s on-field work
  • Fangio admitted he did not review Jackson’s recent game tape before signing him and relied on past viewings to assess his fit
  • Camp’s early reps and practice impact have strengthened Jackson’s case to succeed Darius Slay and partner with Quinyon Mitchell in Philadelphia’s starting secondary
