[Grammar] That's a talent of mine!

[Crowned 91]

Hello!

I have heard this sentence: "That's a talent of mine".

Is it also correct to say "That's a talent of yours/ his/ hers/ ours/ theirs"?

1)If I had to use a proper noun instead of a possessive pronoun, should I say : "That's a talent of Jack's" for example? Can I drop the
" 's " or is it even wrong to use it?
2) Can I also say "That's one of Jack's talents "?
