Teryl Austin On Justin Layne: ‘He Knows He’s Got To Work, And He’s Working’

If there is one player that we’ve hardly talked at all about this year, it would probably be rookie third-round cornerback Justin Layne. In games this year in which the Pittsburgh Steelers have played 20 different players on defense, Layne is one of the few players on either side of the ball with no work at their base position to date.

If I’m not mistaken, the only players on the roster other than specialists who haven’t gotten on the field offensively or defensively yet this season are Isaiah Buggs, who may do so tomorrow, and Chukwuma Okorafor.
