The Pittsburgh Steelers released their first depth chart of 2021 on Saturday, and it showed second year defensive back Antoine Brooks listed as the teams staring nickel cornerback. That initial depth chart aside, Brooks and newcomer Arthur Maulet seem to have a competitive battle going early in camp for the starting nickel spot.
On Sunday, Steelers defssiveo backs coach Teryl Austin addressed the media after practice and he let it be known that he’s been impressed so far in training camp by what he’s seen so far out of Brooks and Maulet.
“It’s a good battle,” Austin said.
