There are so many different variables here that are in the works, and considering the rumors, it’s difficult to single out only Terrell Edmunds against another single player. The expectancy should be Edmunds to start, as Mike Hilton leads all candidates to be the replacement, and Cameron Sutton being a name that has flirted with the possible position change. The Steelers also have rookie Antoine Brooks Jr, but limitations of not being consistently competent in coverage should slide him near the box where he could maximize his potential.
Though fans have more than expressed their extreme optimism for Edmunds continuing as the starting strong safety in 2020, the post-draft comments by DB coach, Teryl Austin, have brought a real light to this situation.
