Long, fast, physical cornerbacks are en vogue in the NFL today, and a new wave of them are coming via the 2023 NFL Draft. That should be music to the ears of the decision makers in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office, as cornerback remains a major need for the Black and Gold ahead of the 2023 season.
While much of the offseason attention focuses on the likes of Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr., Kansas State’s Julius Brents, Georgia’s Kelee Ringo and Maryland’s Deonte Banks, cornerbacks who fit that long, physical, fast mold the Steelers typically like under head coach Mike Tomlin, one under the radar move in January might have already placed that type of cornerback on the roster.
