Just one day away from the preseason opener for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, slot cornerback remains a bit of a mystery.
After seeing Arthur Maulet and Cameron Sutton hold down the role last season in key situations, Pittsburgh lost both of those guys in the offseason. Now, names like Chandon Sullivan, Duke Dawson, Elijah Riley and even Tre Norwood are getting cracks at playing in the slot in hopes of shoring up a major area of concern.
Though nobody has really stood out to this point in training camp, former Steelers cornerback turned scout Ike Taylor remains rather impressed with Sullivan, calling him a “middle of the road” guy who is starting to make plays in training camp.
