The Pittsburgh Steelers have been awful at drafting cornerbacks over the past decade. From guys like Joe Burnett, Curtis Brown, and Cortez Allen all the way up tot the most recent fails in Senquez Golson and Artie Burns, the Steelers have been perhaps the worst team in the league at evaluating the cornerback position.
While the Steelers’ draft history doesn’t give us any confidence that they could turn things around, maybe Michigan State cornerback Justin Layne can be an exception to the mold.
Justin Layne was a highly touted prospect coming out of college, as a young Junior cornerback who turned just 21 years old in January.
