The Pirates have depth across the board in the defensive backfield. There has been no shortage of confidence in the minds of the players but when the season finally kicks off, the secondary will have to prove itself.

But the secondary is beginning to find its way and while fall camp was riddled with position battles, the smoke seems to be clearing and starters have moved into their positions.
