The Steelers secondary came together in 2019 and became one of the top units in the NFL. The addition of Teryl Austin to the coaching staff, the signing of Steven Nelson and the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick took the Steelers pass defense from below average to elite. In 2022, there aren’t many of the key players from that group left. Nelson and Mike Hilton left after the 2020 season, and both Terrell Edmunds and Joe Haden are currently free agents. That leaves only Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cameron Sutton from that two year run of elite secondary play.
