Steelers Daylen Everette Still Having A lot Of ‘Rookie Moments’ On Film

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to adjust their secondary by moving rookie cornerback Daylen Everette to the bench in favor of veterans Jamel Dean and Asante Samuel Jr., according to Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh. Speaking on 93.7 The Fan, Farabaugh reported that Pittsburgh plans to start Dean and Samuel on the outside while leaning on Everette to contribute more heavily on special teams.

While Everette has shown encouraging flashes on game tape, coaching evaluations have highlighted persistent rookie mistakes. The move to the bench is not viewed as a permanent demotion, as Farabaugh noted Everette could quickly regain defensive snaps if the veteran cornerbacks struggle to provide consistency.
