Mike Tomlin Likes Donte Jackson’s ‘Energy’ Thus Far In Camp: ‘That’s Why He Is Here’

Early in Pittsburgh Steelers training camp headlines have swirled about the play of several players, but the player who has perhaps had the best camp to date is CB Donte Jackson.

Jackson, added by way of the Diontae Johnson trade in March, has grabbed attention with his strong start to training camp. Matching up routinely against George Pickens, Jackson has made high-level plays to break up the ball.

One person who has taken notice of Jackson’s play is head coach Mike Tomlin.

“Man, I like his energy. I like his spirit,” Mike Tomlin told reporters after Sunday’s practice via Steelers.
