The Pittsburgh Steelers just lost a lot of experience in their secondary this offseason, parting with both cornerbacks Steven Nelson and Mike Hilton, the latter through free agency and the former as a casualty of the salary cap. Their options in replacing the pair are limited, and much less experienced.
But they still fall back on the depth of experience of their leader in the secondary, Joe Haden, as he marches into his 12th NFL season, and fifth with the team. A former first-round pick, and a former Cleveland Brown, Haden has been at this game for quite a long time, and is still playing at a pretty high level.
