ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos will be at USC scouting cornerback Adoree' Jackson on Wednesday.

Jackson is not only one of the fastest defensive backs on the board -- he ran an official 4.42 40-yard dash at the scouting combine -- but also happens to be one of the most electric returners available. He is a multifaceted player who started games at cornerback, safety and wide receiver during his career with the Trojans. In one game, he started at both cornerback and wide receiver.

Jackson scored touchdowns four different ways in his career -- receiving, punt return, kickoff return and interception return.

"I feel like I can do a lot of things," Jackson said. "Whatever a team wants me to do, I’ll do."

The Broncos didn’t have a punt return longer than 25 yards last season and haven’t had more than one kickoff/punt return for a touchdown in a season since 2013. They didn’t have a kickoff/punt return for a touchdown in 2014 or 2016. Executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway would love to get more impact in the return game, but said he would rather not have a roster spot taken by a return specialist who does not contribute elsewhere. Elway would prefer a position player who can also be the team’s primary returner.

The Broncos have been leaving too much unclaimed field position on the proverbial table because of a lackluster return game. Often the team has chosen, especially on punt returns, to simply pick a player who can most consistently fair catch the ball without incident rather than picking the most dynamic playmaker.

Jackson’s transition into the NFL at defensive back could take a little time, given his size (5-foot-10, 186 pounds) and the fact that he was not always comfortable in zone coverages in college. But the Broncos play plenty of man-to-man, and Jackson has shown the skills needed to line up in the slot early in his career in some of a defense's situational packages.

He could also be a spot player on offense, and his return skills separate him from most. He was a track All-American at USC and a two-time Pac-12 long-jump champion.

Jackson projects as a second-round pick. A smattering of evaluators believe he could slip into the early third round if there is a run at another position, but he has the look of a top-50 player. And he certainly fits a need for the Broncos in the return game and perhaps on defense given the departure of defensive back Kayvon Webster in free agency.
