Titans secondary gets faster with Adoree' Jackson

The Tennessee Titans have selected cornerback Adoree' Jackson out of Southern California with the 18th pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Jackson is arguably the fastest cornerback in this year's draft and can contribute as a kick returner and possibly as a gadget player on the offensive side of the ball.

The USC product has been considered undersized to play as a traditional cornerback on the outside, but may ideally be suited to play from the slot.

Jackson joins receiver Corey Davis as the Titans second first-round pick in 2017.
