Pro Football Focus had another entry in their position tier breakdowns, with them evaluating the secondary of every team. PFF had the Steelers ranked at No. 28, in the “serious flaws” tier along with seven other teams.
“The Steelers’ secondary is one of the most veteran-laden groups in the NFL, with every player heading into their fifth season or later. That simultaneously gives the unit a high floor because of what we’ve seen the players do and a low ceiling because of, well, what we’ve seen the players do. There’s just not an impact player in this secondary after Minkah Fitzpatrick,” Mike Renner wrote about the Steelers secondary.
