To say that the Pittsburgh Steelers need fifth-year cornerback Cortez Allen to bounce back in 2015 after a disappointing 2014 season would be an understatement. The team gave him a new five-year, $26 million contract before last season and now they need to start seeing a return on their investment.
Last season, prior to him being placed on the season-ending injured reserve list, Allen had effectively been benched for poor play. It is now up to defensive backs coach Carnell Lake to rebuild Allen this offseason and at the conclusion of Thursdays OTA practice, he was asked how he’s going about doing that.
