Do the Steelers need another option to man the nickel cornerback position?
One of the recent topics in Steelers circles has been the nickel cornerback position and whether they need more help. Right now, second-year Beanie Bishop Jr. appears to be in the driver’s seat, with veteran Brandin Echols lurking behind him. Beyond rookie seventh-round pick Donte Kent, though, that is pretty much it.
Last year, the Steelers opened the season with Bishop as their nickel cornerback, but they demoted him later on. It’s worth noting he likely wasn’t their first choice though, as evidenced by how events unfolded.
