He’s been a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers for just six months and has played in just two regular season games for the franchise, but veteran cornerback Donte Jackson continues to be blown away by the experience.
Not only is he in a great defense, one that very well could be one of the best in the NFL when it’s all said and done this season, but he’s also sharing a secondary with guys he truly enjoys being around and establishing relationships with.
That includes second-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday following practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Jackson called it a “blessing” to share the field with a player and a person like Porter, who he sees improving daily and carrying the weight of being a true lockdown cornerback very well at such a young age.
