This is not the first time during his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers that the team has given a couple of cornerbacks to play with via the draft, but defensive backs coach Carnell Lake is hoping that things go more smoothly than they did the first two times.
When he was first brought in for the 2011 season as a novice coach, the Steelers drafted Curtis Brown in the third round and Cortez Allen in the fourth. Brown became a very good gunner on special teams, but I’m not sure if he ever even played a defensive snap in a meaningful game.
