NFL Network analytics expert Cynthia Frelund is not a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to let cornerback Cameron Sutton walk and replace him with cornerback Patrick Peterson. Frelund said on Free Agent Frenzy on NFL Network today that Pittsburgh signing Peterson was a head-scratcher.
“I’m a little confused with what we’re going to see from Patrick Peterson. This one’s about fit. Yes, he had his best statistical season last year since 2018, but you have to look what happened-2.4 yards per separation using single-high coverage-but that’s an interesting number because I think a lot of his numbers and statistics and production came when they were playing zone, so how much zone are they really gonna play,” Frelund said via NFL.
