I'm still trying to have some sort of evaluation of our free agents, I watched William Jackson III in the week 1 game against the Chargers.
+
His coverage is really good, physical, not scared, the 4.37 speed shows, good reads, covered Keenan Allen and Mike Williams with great success.
PBU against Allen
Bottom of your screen, solid coverage on Allen on a dig route
(Bottom slot) Man vs a Mike Williams' fade
(Bottom) I like this play, he seems to be in some sort of pattern matching Cover 3, he bites a little too much on the slant before detecting Hunter on the post but recovers really well IMO

I didn't really see that in the week 11 game against us, but in this Chargers game he looked kinda scared of contact to me. Not to keen to make plays against the run nor go make the tackle on the guy making the catch if he wasn't "his" guy. He injured his shoulder in December 2019 and that's 2020 week 1, so first real live contact since his injury. Not a huge knock, still think it's a really good signing, and having had 11 shoulders dislocations, I know the feeling, but may be something to keep an eye on. I like my corners to be agressive against the run.
This one's funny, top of your screen, good deep coverage.. the underneath guy makes the catch, and look at him dancing and turning around, he clearly sees the guy made the catch but makes one more turn to look at his guy one last time... subconsciously buying time to not have to make the tackle.
(Bottom) Doesn't look to eager to go make a play on the RB here either, does he?
(Bottom) Playing it a bit to safe there too IMO
(Top) Wouldn't you like to see him at least try to prevent the TD here ?
