Cornerbacks

  • Joe Haden
  • Steven Nelson
  • Mike Hilton
  • Cameron Sutton
  • Justin Layne
  • Brian Allen

Joe Haden has helped solidify the cornerback position since signing with Pittsburgh in 2017. Nelson is an adequate option opposite Haden while Hilton has been solid as the nickel cornerback. Sutton offers good depth and versatility to play cornerback or safety. Layne is a third-round pick who brings very good size, length, and speed to the position group. Allen is a young player with excellent size who has mainly contributed on Special Teams in his short career.

Player to watch: Artie Burns
