A lot was made of the cornerback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the offseason. Cam Sutton, who emerged as an important starter over the last two seasons, departed in free agency. The Steelers added Patrick Peterson in free agency, then double-dipped in the 2023 NFL Draft, selecting Joey Porter Jr. to kick off the second round and then adding Cory Trice Jr. in the seventh.
It’s no surprise that a lot of attention was paid to these additions heading into training camp, but those three won’t be the only ones playing an important role at cornerback. Levi Wallace, who joined Pittsburgh during the 2022 offseason after spending four years with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Alabama, carved out an important role in his first year with the team.
