CB Donte Jackson isn't surprised by his 2024 success
If you asked any NFL player which positional group had the most confidence, swagger, or trash talk, many would argue it’s the cornerbacks. One Steelers cornerback has more than backed up his confidence with incredible playmaking ability so far in the 2024 season. The elite talent in question is none other than CB Donte Jackson, whom Pittsburgh acquired in a trade with the Carolina Panthers this past offseason.
Jackson is currently tied for the third-most interceptions in the NFL this season, with three, sharing the title with New Orleans’ Paulson Adebo and Detroit’s Brian Branch. Only two interceptions away from the top spot, Jackson isn’t surprised by his success:
#Steelers CB Donte Jackson on if he’s shocked about his ability to make splash plays.
“No, it doesn’t shock me at all. I always knew what type of player I was. … I knew what type of impact I would make. Just a lot of people haven’t watched a lot of Carolina Panthers games.” pic.twitter.com/Z4ASyyBR5k— Aaron Becker (@Aaron_M_Becker) October 16, 2024
The Steelers currently sixth in the NFL in interceptions, and Jackson’s splash plays are a huge reason why. Will Jackson continue his early success in 2024 and eventually take the top spot overall in total interceptions? His toughest challenge yet comes in Week 7’s contest against the Jets, where he’ll have to contend with the terrifying WR duo of Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams.
More Donte Jackson!
