Ask a Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan what position they’d like to see brought in during free agency, and they’re likely to respond with a cornerback. While that sounds nice, and to an extent understandable, if you look historically, it seems unlikely.
Don’t fret. That doesn’t mean they’re automatically going to ignore the entire secondary. You just have to look a little farther than cornerback. Specifically, a little bit behind: safety.
Dave Bryan put in a ton of work last year on all the free agents Kevin Colbert has brought in since 2000.
