A year ago, choosing between the Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary and front seven was easy — the big guys up front won in a landslide. This year, it’s not so clear, but only because the secondary has emerged as one of the league’s best. Former NFL scout Bucky Brooks ranked his top three in each category, and while the front seven missed the cut, the secondary made it.
Here is what Brooks wrote about the Steelers having the third best secondary in the league.
“The arrivals of Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay — who bring a combined 13 Pro Bowls to Pittsburgh — upgrade a secondary with an emerging CB1 in Joey Porter Jr,” Brooks wrote via NFL.
