Former Steelers CB William Jackson III Now Healthy, Fueled By ‘All The People Who Had Something Negative To Say’

The Pittsburgh Steelers have let go a number of cornerbacks already this offseason. Just since the 2023 NFL Draft, for example, they released Ahkello Witherspoon and (at his request) Arthur Maulet. It might be easier to forget that some time before they already parted way with William Jackson III, the former first rounder.

Granted, Jackson would be easier to forget considering the fact that he never played a snap for the Steelers. Acquired via trade in-season on a deal that ended up not requiring them to return any draft compensation when conditions for doing so were not met, he was released just before the start of the new league year, having been scheduled to make an eight-figure salary in 2023.
