Scouting the Steelers 2019 NFL Draft picks: CB Justin Layne

If the Pittsburgh Steelers selection of Toledo wide receiver Diontae Johnson had some fans questioning the move on Friday night, the choice of Michigan State cornerback Justin Layne at the end of the third-round should have been cause for celebration.

In contrast to the pick of Johnson, most experts had Layne going much earlier on day two, with the selection seen as something of a steal among many in the draft community at pick No.83. And reading the scouting reports written about him during the offseason, it would appear there is a lot to like about the Steelers latest addition on defense.
