Here’s a guy whom we haven’t talked about a ton yet, and that’s pretty significant given that he was one of the most costly outside free agent additions in the history of the franchise. Fifth-year cornerback Steven Nelson agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers before the start of free agency, the first time Pittsburgh ever managed to do that during the ‘legal tampering’ period, but they knew they needed a quality veteran cornerback.
Pairing with Joe Haden, Nelson has been on an upward trajectory throughout training camp. He started off a little slow and got beaten in some situations that you wouldn’t want to see.
