The Pittsburgh Steelers brought cornerback Byron Murphy in for a pre-draft visit a few weeks ago and since then he seems to be consensus favorite of the masses to be the team’s first-round selection this year. While that ultimately might wind up being the case, the Steelers selection of Murphy in the first-round certainly would buck quite a few trends the team has had since Kevin Colbert joined the organization in 2000.
The most obvious trend that the selection of Murphy in the first-round by the Steelers would buck includes Colbert not attending his pro day this year.
