do the steelers need more help on defense or is he more of a return guy for them?

I would assume he is being brought in for Special Teams purposes because he is not a very good corner, whenever he does play the position.

I am sure there will be other moves like this by several teams that will make thier fans scratch thier head.
In the end, we as fans are just that..... Fans.

I for one, trust the coaches who do this for a living to make the right decisions.
Judging by a few posts I've read so far this morning, some of you don't.

;D

I don't see what the problem is..We just drafted a guy in the fifth round who will probably do little more than return kicks this year. What is the difference between that and trading a 6th round pick for a return guy?
