Arguably the biggest disappointment of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2018 NFL Draft class has been fifth-round safety Marcus Allen’s performance—or rather his lack of it. The rookie has spent a lot of the offseason on the sidelines. He missed pretty much all of the spring and has missed time during training camp as well due to injuries.
When the Steelers first drafted him—after already adding a safety in Terrell Edmunds with their first-round pick—it was accepted as a foregone conclusion that they intended to carry five safeties this year, and perhaps from now on.
