Donte Jackson Has Brought ‘Great Leadership, Great Athleticism’ To Steelers, Says Calvin Austin III

When the Pittsburgh Steelers initially traded away Diontae Johnson, it seemed like a poor decision. They really only added corner Donte Jackson and made their wide receiver room much weaker, a problem they’re still trying to deal with. Just as well, Jackson is on an expiring contract, meaning he could end up being a Steeler for just this year. However, since Jackson has gotten to practice with the team more, it seems like he’s fitting in perfectly. Receiver Calvin Austin III recently had loads of praise to throw Jackson’s way.

Speaking on the Ed Block Courage Awards YouTube channel, an award he won last year, Austin was asked about how Jackson, a fellow recipient of that award, has been fitting in with the Steelers.
