Steelers are making all kinds of moves during the NFL Draft, but not all are draft selections. According to Ian Rapoport, the Steelers are signing former Green Bay packers and Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chandon Sullivan to a one-year deal.

Chandon Sullivan is a pure slot cornerback with tons of experience and solid ball skills.
Sullivan went undrafted in 2018 before being picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles and playing 5 games and one start in his rookie season.
He eventually found his footing in Green Bay for the Packers for 3 years, playing in 49 games and starting 20 of them. He accumulated 5 INTs in his 3 years with Green Bay.
Last season he signed with the Minnesota Vikings and played in every game, starting 10 of them and coming away with no INTs, but 7 passes defended. He played in over 800 snaps as their nickel cornerback. This signing pairs him back with Patrick Peterson.
In total, Sullivan has played in 71 games and started 31 games. A very experienced slot corner, this makes up for not addressing it in the draft and he’ll bring competition to that position.
