While there is much to be said about who ended up seeing playing time on the defensive side of the ball last night for the Pittsburgh Steelers, perhaps no matter of personnel will be discussed more than one player in particular that did not see the field, in spite of the fact that he was active for the game.
That player in question would be Brandon Boykin, a fourth-year cornerback for whom the Steelers traded a fifth-round pick to acquire in the early stages of training camp from the Eagles, a pick that can be raised to a fourth-rounder is a playing time escalator is met.
