How good is Coty Sensabaugh?

Artie Burns is pretty bad. The third-year corner has completely fallen off after a sophomore slump. Now, he’s being considered someone this team needs to replace, and Coty Sensabaugh is probably the guy to do so.

Sensabaugh isn’t an NFL starter on most teams. Coming to Pittsburgh, he was believed to be nothing more than a backup to Burns and Haden (even if Haden wasn’t on the team yet). No one expected him to play the minutes of a full-time cornerback, but here we are and it’s time to see how good he can be.

With Burns out this week, Keith Butler will get plenty of time to see what Sensabaugh can do. Him and Cameron Sutton will split time on the outside in Burns’ absence, leaving a solid week for him to prove himself.
