Although Sean Davis was drafted as a safety, the Maryland product can also play another position on defense, cornerback, and it looks like we’ll see Davis take some snaps at CB this season. This opportunity came about after second-year CB Senquez Golson, who didn’t play at all his rookie year, sustained a Lisfranc injury, which is an injury to the middle of your foot. Golson could be sidelined for 3-4 months.
With the injury to Golson, this puts Davis at the slot corner position, which is usually occupied by William Gay. There is no one the Steelers trust more at the slot, corner position than Gay.
