Patrick Peterson was signed to become the next Cam Sutton. A smart, hyper-versatile player in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense. Mostly an outside corner throughout his career, it was a projection. And for the first five weeks of the year, the team’s hope wasn’t being put into action.
But as the season’s gone on, as Joey Porter Jr.’s developed and as injuries pile up (versatility is often created through adversity), Peterson has moved all about the secondary. According to our charting, he’s aligned at eight different spots this season, one more than Sutton did in 2022 for the Steelers.
