It didn't take long for the Pittsburgh Steelers to find an answer to their Darius Slay problem. However, their golden ticket is the last player fans expected. Every time Mike Tomlin's team needed quality cornerback play in a pinch, it was James Pierre who stepped up to the plate. This is wild, considering Pierre didn't even make the team's initial 53-man roster on August 26.
Pierre was quickly stashed on the practice squad, and after getting elevated from the PS to play against the New York Jets in Week 1, the Steelers realized they wanted him on the active roster moving forward.
