Steelers’ Initial Roster Left With Several Slot Defender Options After Months-Long Search

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ preliminary 53-man roster for the 2023 season sees them retain 10 defensive backs, with nearly all of those who made it, barring three outside cornerbacks, possessing position flexibility of some significance.

They stockpiled options, some of which came and went, such as Duke Dawson and former draft pick Tre Norwood, but they have settled on a large group of candidates. Let’s run down the list before the Steelers shake it up on us.
