The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a difficult time drafting and developing defensive backs since 2010. However, Cameron Sutton is the one guy who definitely can be classified as a draft “hit” in the secondary.
Sutton was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Steelers out of Tennessee and has since played all over in the secondary. Sutton started as a slot corner where he was kept over Mike Hilton, but has since moved outside and has succeeded there as well.
When meeting with the media today, Sutton’s former secondary coach and now defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was asked about Sutton and what has made him such a good pro.
