Put On Lock: Examining The Top Cornerback Draft Prospects Amid Secondary’s Struggles

Last week, we highlighted a few center prospects in the upcoming draft class that Pittsburgh should keep an eye on throughout the college football season and into the pre-draft process as starting C Mason Cole has struggled mightily to start the 2023 campaign.
