Pacman Jones rips William Jackson III after trade to Steelers

Former Cincinnati Bengal and forever hater of the Pittsburgh Steelers Adam “Pacman” Jones has some thoughts on the Steelers’ trade for cornerback William Jackson III.

Jackson was a first-round pick in 2016 and a player the Steelers targeted. Cincinnati moved up one pick ahead of the Steelers to draft Jackson, and Pittsburgh was forced to settle for Artie Burns.

Jones and Jackson played together for two seasons in Cincinnati, and it sounds like Jones is going to make it his personal purpose to give Jackson a hard time about this every week. Oh, and he had to make a point to call the Steelers franchise trash before signing off.
