Mike Hilton and Steven Nelson are gone, and there are a number of players competing to try and fill the roles they left empty. I want to look at some players that are in position to take a step up and help the secondary remain a top unit in the NFL. I won’t be looking at any rookies, they all have the same next step to take, adapting to the NFL game. I also am not going to talk about Minkah Fitzpatrick or Joe Haden, they don’t really need to step up, they were major reasons for the success of the secondary last season.
Can the Steelers defensive backs take the next step up?
