Steelers DB coach Carnell Lake admits team wanted William Jackson III

Former Steelers great and current team defensive backs coach Carnell Lake spilled the beans on Pittsburgh's 2016 NFL Draft intentions.

Mel Blount, Troy Polamalu and Carnell Lake are just a few of the countless great Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs in the team's history. And while some great players don't always make the best coaches, Lake has done a solid job with the Steelers' secondary since he joined the staff in 2011.

The 2015 season wasn't necessarily a banner year for the back end of the Steelers' defense though, as they ranked 30th in the league against the pass.
