The Pittsburgh Steelers took CB Artie Burns in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and for him to see significant playing time he will have to learn on the job.
The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary has undergone a complete overhaul in just one offseason. Gone are Will Allen, Antwon Blake and Brandon Boykin, and inserted are Senquez Golson, Sean Davis and first round pick Artie Burns. The team lost a great deal of experience, but increased their athleticism and ball skills at the same time.
Throughout this process fans have been left wondering if these young players will be able to contribute early, or if the growing pains will be too painful to repair the the team's porous secondary.
