When the Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed cornerback Cameron Sutton and allowed Mike Hilton to leave in free agency, it seemed as though what would follow was just a matter of course. Sutton, who started four games in 2020 in place of Hilton in 2020 due to injury, would slide right into that slot cornerback role.
Things took another turn when the team released starting outside cornerback Steven Nelson, leaving us with the presumption that Sutton would take over that role. But even if he does, he is more than ready and willing to move between the outside and inside as needed, versatility being something that he embraced for his career many years ago.
