Last year, toward the end of the regular season, when the Dallas Cowboys cut their former fourth-round cornerback in his second offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers acted quickly, claiming B.W. Webb off waivers and essentially giving him a redshirt season as the sixth cornerback on the depth chart, although by the end of the season, he was fourth.
Head coach Mike Tomlin talked about Webb after he was added to the roster, saying that he was a player that they were looking at within a range similar to where he ended up being drafted.
