The Pittsburgh Steelers have released a rookie defensive back.
Stop me if you’ve heard that one before.
In an all too familiar pattern, rookie cornerback Doran Grant and safety Gerod Holliman join a long list of recent defensive backs drafted only to fail to make the initial Week One roster.
In 2014, fifth round cornerback Shaquille Richardson did not make the team or practice squad. The same thing happened to the 2013 fifth round pick, corner Terry Hawthorne. Go back a year father and you’ll find seventh rounder Terence Frederick unable to crack the roster.
