Almost immediately after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran CB Patrick Peterson, he began talking about moving around the Steelers’ defense. Though the soon-to-be 33-year old Peterson has done pretty much everything over his long career, most of his has been accomplished on the outside. But with the team losing Cam Sutton and releasing Arthur Maulet, they need slot help. Peterson might be the answer.
Speaking with reporters after today’s practice, Peterson confirmed he moved around during the day, including seeing time in the slot. That’s the reason why Joey Porter Jr. was elevated to first-team defense, putting Peterson, Porter, and Levi Wallace on the field at the same time.
