Throughout the last two decades, the cornerback position has been an … interesting one for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Names like Ike Taylor, Bryant McFadden, Joe Haden, DeShea Townsend and William Gay certainly come to mind as good ones in their tenure in the Black and Gold. But there are far more bad ones than good ones overall.
For roughly a decade the pass defense and the cornerback position in Pittsburgh was a real concern. It remains a real concern now entering the 2023 season, but at least Pittsburgh has some experienced pieces in place and one high-end rookie to build around.
