New Eagles’ CB Confident in His Versatility, Believes It Will Be Key to Eagles’ Third Super Bowl Run

He didn’t come to Philly to make noise. He came to make an impact.
Now wearing midnight green, the veteran cornerback is entering Training Camp with one clear goal: prove he still has the speed, instincts, and versatility to help a championship team go even further. And from the looks of it, he’s already earning respect with his mindset.
“It’s not left corner, right corner—it’s corner,” he said. “You can put me on the field at any corner. You can put me outside on the corner of the street, you know what I mean? It’s still gonna be the same thing, so you just go out there and understand and embrace that when you’re out there. You never know what might happen, but you should always be prepared and be ready to go.”
That confidence doesn’t come from nowhere. He was a first-round pick in 2017, spent four seasons with the Titans, four more with the Giants, and now brings over 400 tackles and 61 pass deflections to an Eagles defense that’s retooling fast under Vic Fangio.
While the Eagles don’t need him to be a shutdown star, his ability to plug in across the secondary gives them something they’ve lacked in recent years—flexibility under fire. Whether it’s in the slot, on the boundary, or covering the team’s top weapon in a pinch, he is ready for it all.
He’ll turn 30 in September. And though some might label that as the “back half” of a career, Adoree' Jackson sees it differently.
“I’ve been around this game long enough to know how it goes. But I’ve also seen what it takes to win. I’m here to be that piece when the moment calls,” he said.
For a team that’s already lifted two Lombardi trophies, it’s depth and belief that make the difference in January. And Jackson’s quiet confidence, paired with his do-it-all ability, might just be the edge the Eagles need to go get No. 3.
