There’s not a lot that Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson hasn’t done or been able to do since he was brought on board as an unrestricted free agent back in March. He has done everything asked and expected of him since he arrived. Well, everything aside from one, major thing.
Take the ball away.
A year after posting four interceptions in his final, fourth season with the Kansas City Chiefs, the fifth-year veteran starting cornerback hasn’t been able to pick off a pass this season, and quite frankly, I can’t recall an instance in which he had a clear shot at picking the ball off, even though he has his share of passes defensed.
