Why won’t Chargers’ Justin Herbert throw to J.C. Jackson’s corner of field?

LA Times  

New Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson has made his presence felt even during training camp. Through eight training-camp practices, there has been plenty to observe about Justin Herbert, the Chargers’ Pro Bowl quarterback entering his third season with near-limitless expectations. “I don’t know if he’s afraid or what, but Herbert hasn’t thrown to my side yet.” Jackson laughed after sharing his observation and then added: “Herbert is a great guy. I can’t wait to see what he does this year.” In March, the Chargers signed Jackson to a five-year contract worth up to $82.5 million with $40 million guaranteed. You’ll see when the season starts what I’m going to bring to the table and to this team.” As for Jackson’s observation about Herbert, defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill smiled and dismissed the idea that the Chargers’ quarterback was avoiding one side of the field.
