If you recall during the preseason, Pittsburgh Steelers first-year cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz is a player that I brought up a lot over the course of time in August. I had him making my final 53-man roster, and he would have made it had the team not chosen to make the late trade for Justin Gilbert.
Of course, Shabazz is a young, tall cornerback with decent size, who over the course of the preseason picked up a lot of snaps and showed a willingness to be physical, not to mention he had a pass defensed in the end zone in the game against the Eagles.
