Cornerbacks: 6

Joe Haden

Steven Nelson

Mike Hilton

Justin Layne

Cameron Sutton

Alexander Myers

While the first five players on this list you can etch into stone, I took a complete short in the dark for the Steeler’s sixth cornerback. Rarely do the Steelers keep less than six players here, and they are going to want to find a guy that can replace the special team’s role of Artie Burns as well as provide emergency depth at the position.

Myers, a second-year player, has yet to see any NFL game action, but without the Steelers drafting a cornerback this offseason (a player that almost assuredly would have made the team), it’s anybody’s guess as to who will round out the roster.

Joe Haden, Steven Nelson, and Justin Layne will be Pittsburgh’s boundary cornerbacks in 2020, while Mike Hilton and Cameron Sutton will earn their living in sub-packages.
