Pro Football Focus recently dropped their highest-graded cornerbacks in man coverage list, and Pittsburgh Steelers fans will be excited to see a familiar name in the mix.
Surprising to some, it is not the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback you thought you might see (Joey Porter Jr.). It’s actually the Steelers’ new offseason acquisition, Donte Jackson, who ranked fifth in the NFL with an 81.4 man coverage grade that ranks just shy of four of the NFL’s very best cornerbacks.
With Jackson coming over in the Diontae Johnson trade, many fans are unsure what to expect from the seventh-year man.
