While a lot of attention has been on the ongoing QB battle between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, that isn’t the biggest positional question they have this summer. Earlier today, ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano reported on his visit to Steelers camp and broke down the key battles at wide receiver and cornerback.
While Graziano revealed there are players at those spots that Pittsburgh feels good about, he also claimed that he expected the team to watch the trade market for a wide receiver that might because available in the coming weeks. Furthermore, he believes the “Steelers could also be in the cornerback market, as they see themselves thin at that position.”
Players are sure to come available in the coming weeks as depth charts around the NFL get reshuffled during preseason and some athletes become expendable to their current franchises.
