Ross Cockrell Building On Lessons Learned In Fall During First Spring With Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback that they picked up in August, just 10 months ago, really opened some eyes last season and figures poised to make himself a regular presence in that secondary meeting room over the course of the next several years.

The cornerback I am referring to is not, obviously Brandon Boykin, who is still looking for a team after signing with the Panthers and then being passed over during two visits, but rather Ross Cockrell, a third-year player they signed after he was waived by the Bills.

Cockrell knows the deal, that the Steelers are getting in two new high draft picks at his position this autumn in Senquez Golson and Artie Burns.
