How Can Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson Help?
On Saturday, the New York Giants announced they were re-signing cornerback Adoree’ Jackson to their 53-man roster. Jackson spent the last three years with the Giants after spending his first four with the Tennessee Titans. The Titans selected Jackson with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 draft out of USC. The former Trojan started his career off strong, but injuries slowed his career and ultimately led to his release from the Titans before the 2021 season.
Shortly after that release, he signed a three-year, $39 million deal to come to New York. He played out his entire contract and became a free agent after last season. Jackson went completely unsigned throughout the offseason and training camp before the Giants signed him on Saturday. Last season, Jackson accounted for 63 total tackles, one forced fumble, one interception he returned 76 yards for a touchdown in 10 games.

Will Levis’ Girlfriend Lists Titans QB As Things That Make Her Happy
The Tennessee Titans went through an identity makeover during the offseason as they overhauled both the coaching staff and the roster.
Under former head coach Mike Vrabel, the Titans were a run-first team that leaned on its defense but figures to be more pass-happy now that new head coach Brian Callahan has taken over.
Callahan was the former offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that attacked through the air early and often with Joe Burrow under center.
Now, Callahan will be looking for the same sort of production from Will Levis who will get an earnest shot at proving that he’s the franchise quarterback the team is hoping he can be.
Levis has a big arm and is able to make throws on the moves, two traits that should serve him well in Callahan’s offense.
Off the field, Levis seems to be doing well for himself as his girlfriend Victoria Fuller posted a sweet photo of the two via her personal Instagram account.
