SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Nickel Need” Edition

Good Friday to you Steelers fans.

We all know the loss of Mike Hilton, to the Bengals of all people, is a vital blow to how the Pittsburgh Steelers do things defensively. Replacing the skills he possess is not always as easy as just inserting the “the next man” either. Let’s face it; nickel cornerback is a starting position on almost every NFL team now. As teams continue to use more and more 11 personnel as their base offenses the need for cornerbacks is greater than ever. With Steven Nelson gone, we can only assume that Cam Sutton will move to that boundary.
