1-Cornerbacks

Who would have ever thought the best defensive positional unit would be cornerbacks on a Steelers’ team? Not me at the start of the season, that’s for sure. But the trio of Joe Haden, Steven Nelson and Mike Hilton just impressed more and more each week. Nelson, in particular, was impressive after joining the Steelers on the largest free-agent contract in team history. Everyone expected Haden and Hilton to be great but Nelson’s elite play put this group over the top.
