Pittsburgh Steelers CB Donte Jackson has eased any concerns fans had about how they acquired him. They sent WR Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers for him and never filled that hole in the receiving corps.
But Jackson is proving worth it so far for the hole he plugged in the secondary. The Steelers struggled to find consistent play at cornerback last year, especially prior to Joey Porter Jr. starting full-time. While he didn’t have a flawless Steelers debut, Jackson showed what this defense looks like with two alphas at cornerback.
In addition to two tackles, Donte Jackson recorded two passed defensed and one an interception in his Steelers debut.
