Defensive backs (10)

  1. Joe Haden
  2. Artie Burns
  3. Mike Hilton
  4. Cameron Sutton
  5. Brian Allen
  6. Terrell Edmunds
  7. Sean Davis
  8. Morgan Burnett
  9. Marcus Allen
  10. Nat Berhe

The Steelers secondary will take on a whole new look when 2018 begins. The Steelers cut ties with Mike Mitchell and Robert Golden this offseason

They went out and signed Morgan Burnett and Nat Berhe to help provide both new blood and depth at the position. The Steelers also drafted Edmunds and Allen to play the spot.

The newly revamped safety room should bring forth intense competition in practice but I see this group of 10 making the roster. Berhe provides a huge special teams presence and helps replace former captain Robert Golden.

Edmunds and Allen are likely to play some inside backer in sub packages to help get the youth on the field. Both bring versatility to the table in the new look secondary.
