Eckert’s Examinations: CB Josiah Scott 2022 Run Defense Study

Related Topics: Josiah Scott

Today I wanted to circle back to the cornerback position, considering new Pittsburgh Steelers CB Josiah Scott was running as first-team slot corner this offseason. Not overreacting to that report, but is worthy of learning more about the player and what it could mean for the 2024 season.

Pittsburgh reunited with CB Cameron Sutton this offseason, but his services were available due to a domestic violence felony reduced to misdemeanor. The NFL’s decision for discipline was eight games, opening up opportunities for men such as Scott and/or others.

Using Sports Info Solutions (SIS), this study will look at various run defense stats from the 2022 season, the only year of Scott’s four-year career with substantial snaps.
