A year ago at this same time, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ross Cockrell was with the Buffalo Bills in their training camp competing for a roster spot. While he ultimately failed to achieved that goal, it turned out to be a blessing of sorts for him as he entered the Steelers 2016 training camp as the starter opposite veteran William Gay.
Recently, Cockrell talked about the changes that have transpired in his young career over the course of the last year during an interview with Steelers Nation Radio.
“Last year at this time I was in Buffalo moving along and this year it’s been kind of a 180,” said Cockrell, who was drafted by the Bills in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Duke.
