One of the biggest components of the Pittsburgh Steelers bringing in Patrick Peterson this offseason was his leadership ability. With the Steelers widely expected to draft a younger cornerback early in the draft, having someone like Peterson, a former All-Pro who’s been there and done that in the NFL, would be huge to mentor the young corner.
