If you ever wondered if NFL players read what’s written about them, this should answer your question. Bleacher Report put out an article that included talking about the quality of the Pittsburgh Steelers secondary. In it, the author noted there were concerns with the starting cornerback position opposite Joe Haden. This is the spot held down by Steven Nelson and he didn’t appreciate the lack of insight in the comments.
Nelson took to Twitter looking for the moderator of the Bleacher Report so they could have a conversation about it.
The comment in context was legitimately lacking any level of research by the author. Nelson might not have had the volume of interceptions or passes defended some other top cornerbacks have had, but this is largely it is because teams knew there was no point in throwing Nelson’s way so they gave up trying.
