Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have lost cornerback Senquez Golson for an extended amount of time after he suffered a Lisfranc injury earlier in the week, rookie safety Sean Davis will be given every opportunity to win the starting slot cornerback position in the team’s sub package defense moving forward. A few days ago, Steelers defensive backs coach Carnell Lake discussed Davis in an interview on Steelers Nation Radio and how he is pretty much being baptized by fire right now.
“Absolutely, give him every opportunity to do that and prove that he’s capable of performing in there and that’s one of the expectations coming in, especially for a high-round pick,” said Lake.
