Just because Pittsburgh Steelers DB Patrick Peterson is in his 13th season in the NFL doesn’t mean he isn’t learning new things. Peterson has been lining up all over the secondary rather than playing outside corner like he has most of his career.
While Peterson has been learning these different positions, the rest of the secondary has grappled with upheaval. Rookie CB Joey Porter Jr. has staked a claim to a starting cornerback spot. The safety position has been in flux with multiple players being injured including Minkah Fitzpatrick and Keanu Neal. In fact, both of those players will be out Sunday afternoon when the Steelers travel for the second matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
