The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of young, hungry players in their secondary vying for position and playing time. If iron does indeed sharpen iron, it’s beginning to sharpen the play of second-year cornerback Darius Rush.
The South Carolina product looked fast all practice, and made one play in specific that stood out during seven-on-sevens. He read a quick out route perfectly from the slot and jumped on it, racing to the receiver as soon as he began to break and dove to break up the pass.
I asked Rush about the play following practice, to which he broke down what he saw.
