It’s been quite some time since the Pittsburgh Steelers have had the right piece at slot corner. A carousel of experiments since Mike Hilton left in 2020 might suggest that it’s time to invest more after the most recent failure of Cam Sutton.

Versatility is ideal at the spot, of course, in coverage, run defense and blitzing. The goal today is to look at the 2024 stats of defensive backs in the draft with at least 75 slot snaps (27 qualifiers).
