Coming into camp, my attention – and probably yours – was on CB Joey Porter Jr. The Pittsburgh Steelers second year corner coming off a promising and ascending rookie season, Porter was, and still is, the team’s No. 1 corner. The question at corner was everything else. The starting slot, the depth on the outside, and Donte Jackson, the man starting opposite Porter.
If Porter becomes the next shutdown corner, that means Jackson will be peppered with targets, making him a key cog of the Steelers’ secondary. With all the usual warnings of it being the first two days of practice, Jackson has stood out the most of Pittsburgh’s corners.
