It’s a headline to rankle many Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Patrick Peterson? Too old, too slow, too over the hill. I wasn’t someone losing sleep over Peterson’s release back in March though it felt mildly surprising. But as the Steelers get ready to build their roster and prepare for Week 1, they enter another season without clarity in the slot. A recurring theme since losing Mike Hilton ahead of the 2021 season, Pittsburgh’s as messy in the middle as it is anywhere.
That’s why Peterson should come back. To be clear, not to play outside corner.
