Steelers spent fifth-round pick on a cornerback they refuse to play

PITTSBURGH -- The Brandon Boykin mystery continues.

When the Steelers traded a conditional fifth-round pick to the Eagles for the rights to Boykin, the move presumably solved a need at cornerback.

But Boykin has played one defensive snap -- one! -- in the last three weeks. He's logged less than 20 snaps the entire year.

This trend likely isn't changing any time soon.
