Sean Davis came into this season, along with Artie Burns, as the only two defensive backs on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster who had spent more than one season on their 53-man lineup. The pair of 2016 draft picks, taken in the first two rounds, were suddenly the ‘veteran’ nucleus of a generally young secondary.
After Burns was benched early in the year, it pretty much became Davis’ show, though obviously nine-year veteran Joe Haden, who has now been with the team for a little over 15 months, plays a big role in the group dynamic as well.
