When it comes to the battle for the slot cornerback position, S Elijah Riley has certainly turned heads this training camp.
The former cornerback coming out of Army has primarily played safety during his time in the NFL, but he’s looked good at the nickel in training camp as well as in Pittsburgh’s first two preseason games. Riley has shown physicality as a tackler in run support as well as awareness in coverage, picking off a pass last Saturday against the Buffalo Bills off a tip by LB Cole Holcomb.
