The trade between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers in mid-March featuring wide receiver Diontae Johnson and Donte Jackson was rather surprising. It seemingly came out of left field and saw the Steelers take from one position of need to try and fix another need elsewhere.
But things have worked out in a major way for the Steelers with the acquisition of Jackson.
The veteran cornerback, who the Steelers had been eyeing since the 2018 NFL Draft and tried to trade for last season, has been a solid No. 2 opposite Joey Porter Jr. He leads the Steelers in interceptions with three on the season.
