Donte Jackson was one of the fastest men in the 2018 NFL Combine, and went in the second round of the draft to the Carolina Panthers.
Now, he’s making an impact in the Panthers’ secondary. In Sunday’s Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Jackson snagged his first career interception.
As you can see below, he is playing center field and drifts back to snag a Matt Ryan pass that was intended for Julio Jones:

Jackson has also proven to be a tackling machine through the early part of his NFL career, so it looks like the Panthers got themselves a major contributor.
The Panthers trail the Falcons 24-10 midway through the third quarter, though, so they have some work to do to get into the win column this week.
