With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to waive rookie cornerback Doran Grant yesterday, it would be a service to take a look at where the position stands now—or rather, where it will stand heading into the 2016 season.
The team’s most widely projected 53-man roster featured six cornerbacks making the list, those being William Gay, Cortez Allen, Antwon Blake, Brandon Boykin, Grant, and B.W. Webb, in that pecking order.
Should the roster have gone down that way, then the Steelers would have been left with four cornerbacks that were under contract through the 2016 season, including second-round rookie Senquez Golson.
