2024 Season Breakdown:
When the Steelers traded WR Diontae Johnson for CB Donte Jackson, many fans had no idea who he was. Having spent his whole career with the Carolina Panthers, that’s not incredibly surprising.
The Steelers knew who Jackson was and they had been trying to get him for years. Scouted out of LSU, he was a target in free agency in 2022.
