The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t as sure with Ryan Watts as they have been with their previously drafted defensive backs like Joey Porter Jr. exactly where he will ultimately play. The rookie sixth-round pick has already spent some time playing safety, though his background is at cornerback.

While he is embracing the challenge of learning the safety position, Watts is hoping to hone his skills playing cornerback. And he is using new teammate Porter as his guide, both on the field and in the film room. After a successful rookie season for Porter, perhaps he can help guide the next rookie to some success.
