The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big trade this offseason, moving WR Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers while getting CB Donte Jackson and the better end of a late round pick swap in return. So, I wanted to look at and provide data of his 2023 season, starting with coverage, and including Pittsburgh cornerbacks for comparative context using data from Sports Info Solutions (SIS).
Let’s dive in. Here’s 2023 coverage snaps and targets for quantity context:
Three cornerbacks in our sights landed above the mean in both. Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. led this group with 501 coverage snaps (41st), and the trendline highlights him being targeted less than expected given that volume (52 targets, 44th).
