The Steelers are entering 2021 without Steven Nelson or Mike Hilton
While I was surprised that Steven Nelson was outright cut from the team, I was not surprised to see Mike Hilton leave via free agency. Cameron Sutton earned a starting job as a Steeler with stellar play in coverage in 2020 and I don’t expect him to slow down in 2021. The mystery was who would play in the slot within nickel formations. Sutton and Hilton both made their names in that position but, Steven Nelson’s departure made things less clear.
